Thank You State Farm Insurance YAB !
The Long Beach Island Consolidated School District (LBICSD) will
start an in-school food waste composting program for grades K-6.
Composting concepts will be integrated into all curriculum content areas
and community extensions will be created.
COASTAL COMMUNITY COMPOSTING (CCC) provides a partial solution to an issue of great concern
in our community. The Ocean County Landfill is filling up quickly and is
anticipated to close within ten years. Composting provides a way of not
only reducing the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of, but
also of converting it into a product that is useful for nurturing our
gardens. As compost eliminates the need for fertilizers, it also
addresses the island-wide problem of storm water runoff as nutrients run
down storm drains directly into bordering bay waters.
