It was a pleasure to assist the students at Sugarloaf Elementary School who were in the process of learning to sort their lunch waste into three different bins: Recyclables, Compostables, and Trash. I was impressed how diligent they were! These kids are more than ready to do their part to make our world more sustainable.
