Why Compost?

So this morning we discussed helping to get people motivated to compost even though it may sometimes smell.

I was thinking about this and attempting to put together a few things for Pam since she requested some more information.

Here are my basic thoughts & some resources I have found:

• People will get excited about composting as they begin to see it working successfully. As soon as they see that it can be done in a way that doesn’t disturb any normal functioning & that some people are committed to it, we will get more support! (Kristina’s words!)
• If the smell becomes a problem in the lounge, we can always switch to having a smaller container in the freezer! All this will take is some feedback. I will post a sign that asks for people to send their comments to Faculty Services 
• If people want to know more about composting, we can always direct them to some resources. Here are some that I have found:
