00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:14,279
In this way, we are doing a compost project with the international program Global Scholar.

2
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:24,239
We want to involve the whole school community and we will explain you what compost is and

3
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,239
how it is made, and what you need to do.

4
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:34,460
The compost bin is placed in our school orchard.

5
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,240
What is compost for?

6
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,539
The compost is our natural transformation process

7
00:00:43,539 --> 00:00:47,119
of organic waste that turns into nutrients

8
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:50,240
and serves to fertilize the land.

9
00:00:51,299 --> 00:00:52,479
How is it made?

10
00:00:52,479 --> 00:01:05,519
We can divide our waste into two groups. Green waste is grass clippings, coffee grounds or tea bags.

11
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:12,519
Brown waste is dry plant material, eggshells, little pieces of cardboard.

12
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:18,519
But it's important to place green waste and brown waste in different layers.

13
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:24,519
The compost is ready to use when it is dry and crumbly and also has an earthy smell.

14
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:32,519
The volume of the pile is reduced around half and the organic items are not looked for.

15
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:36,519
This process can take from one month to a year.

16
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:40,519
What type of waste can we put into the compost bin?

17
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:58,060
You can put grass clippings, tree leaves, coffee grounds, lettuce, potato peels, banana peels, paper without ink, avocado skin, and egg shells.

18
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:04,099
We have to keep all this out of the compost bin.

19
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:14,620
Meat, fish, dairy products, oil, plastic, metal, pet food, colored paper, coal, any chemical substances.

20
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,539
This is plants or cooked food.

21
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:27,719
You are going to have a trash bin like this in your break time to put your compostable waste in it.

22
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:35,719
It's got a poster at the top so that you always know what to put and what to keep out of it.

23
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:52,650
At the end of the break time, together with a teacher, you will have to go to the compost bin, where you have to throw the collected waste.

24
00:02:52,650 --> 00:03:25,020
After, you clean your little bin with water and use that water to irrigate the plants.

25
00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:48,439
Finally, you take your bin to the whole of your building to use it again the next day.
