New York Mills has Worms - Schools Cutting Carbon

Description: Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon program participant New York Mills High School was featured in the New York Mills Herald for their worm composting project.

Excerpt: “The students in New York Mills have worms. And, it’s a good thing. It’s a very good thing. Imported from California, a box of red worms recently arrived at the New York Mills School. With some help from students, these squiggly creatures will help the school cut back on the amount of paper and food waste produced each day. The worms, and the two composting bins they will live in, are just one step in a series of actions the school is taking to teach students a new set of “3 R’s”: reduce, reuse, and recycle.”
