    Field trip! What a fun way to learn about our impact and consumption! What facility did you tour? What did you learn?

    This past week I went to Big Lake Organics and saw how the composting process works! I learned that there are multiple steps to breaking down compost and that compost gets really hot (140 F) when its breaking down!

    In the future, I can ask myself if it is a want or need and what that object would be adding to my life. I can also search for more sustainable options when buying products.
