We are getting profiled at SLC!! We had our first compost club meeting today. We gathered some awesome ideas about how to get composting plans on campus done and now, I will write up a proposal to pitch to the committee for student life with Ellie Mae. She will be writing a gardening portion of this. Ellie, the co-chair of the composting club, went on an awesome farming adventure this summer, and she misses it so much it's sad. Check out her blog for info about that great farm. Probably our next important talk will be about compost club t-shirts. I will negotiate a deal with some t-shirt vendor custom designer use organic cotton and fair-trade methods. There is a particular place in mind about that.... coming soon.
     Anyone interested in gardening should email me at ecolasante@gm.slc.edu. Ellie Mae is initiating a garden at SLC with 5X5 foot plots (or even persuade the college to allow us to use space in the green house). We would make a hoop house over these plots for the winter months, and students would likely maintain the garden every week. By paying a certain amount to start it, we will equip them with what they need, offer them guidance and a space, and funnel funds into composting and gardening at SLC.
