Educating students about what is in their garbage and having them participate in the audit WORKS.  It made a big impact.

With the La Center High School Data, it looks like the percentage of the recyclables doubled, which is great. That shows me that students are learning how to sort recyclables correctly.

In our school district we don't even have the option to recycle let alone compost or dispose differently of food waste. It would be great to start to implement one of those ideas let alone both, because without other options everything automatically becomes garbage.

The data shows that interventions in schools can make a huge difference. There are so many schools and their data can serve as a model for how to actually implement a change that works.

What kind of composting facility was used? Was it a school garden or a city location?

This data is pretty strong for a need for communities to promote and support composting. Why is composting not required for many places? Why are facilities not being created?

What this data tells us more about the world around is that we don't know exactly what items can be recyclable.

Definitely having students complete the sorting of waste has an impact on changing their behavior.

I noticed that greenhouse gasses were created by both facilities.  Although the composting place was lower, it still seemed high.  And the graph from LaCenter showed that the students learned what was compostable, but others were actually higher.  Also, did the HS purchase multiple bins to sort the garbage?  I know my school district would not pay for that.

After looking at the La Center High School Data I wonder how much of the "true garbage" is created by the packaging that the food comes in, and how we can eliminate/decrease that percentage.

How much less total garbage was there after the audit?

Did the school only account for food waste produced by students? Or also food not taken and then wasted in the kitchens?

Did kids still throw away the same amount of food, but were better at putting it into compost?  Or were they throwing less food away overall?

The Carbon Dioxide emissions were decreased by the food waste being composted instead of landfills.

What sort of measures were taken to reduce food waste as well? Did that have an impact on overall garbage/waste?
