Thanks to Green Campus Initiative, a student group dedicated to making the ESF campus more environmentally friendly, we now have our very own on-campus composting system. Located near the greenhouses on the edge of campus next to Oakwood Cemetery, the new system will handle food waste collected from across the campus and turn it into rich organic material.

Students in the Green Campus Initiative and ESF President, Dr. Cornelius Murphy, Jr., will give a demonstration of the new food and organic waste composting operation tomorrow (Thursday, March 11, 2010) at 1:00PM.
The project includes an innovative process called static aerated composting which produces a weed free, pathogen free compost in as little as 3 weeks.
