More Trash to Treasure

Help me give my students supplies to compost thousands of pounds of food, paper, and cardboard.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hong's classroom raised $737

My Project

Our students are making a real difference by turning food waste and cardboard into rich compost! We’ve been successfully diverting thousands of pounds of organic material from landfills, but to continue our mission, we need funding for essential supplies like pitchforks, shovels, and brooms.

Our students are gaining invaluable hands-on experience in waste management and sustainability, learning how to transform trash into treasure.

Not only do we compost, but we also sell or donate our nutrient-rich compost to benefit the community, fostering awareness about sustainable practices. Your support will empower these young environmentalists to take action and make a lasting impact on our planet.
