Earth Tub Complete!










In just a few short (or long) weeks, we have transformed the back of our dining hall into a high tech composting center featuring a Green Mountain Technologies Earth Tub. It was awesome to see the creature being built. Soon enough we'll be putting most of our dining hall waste into the tub. Some of the things that can go into the Earth Tub, from the dining hall, include: raw vegetables and fruit, plain bread, rice, and tea bags. Some of the things that cannot go into the Earth Tub, from the dining hall, include: butter, meat, dairy products, bleached napkins, and other oily food. The proud crew you see below (from left to right) is Heather Siegel, Robin Zitter, and one of the directors here at Camp, Brian Leibacher. These studious folk spent countless hours planning, preparing, and envisioning this very Earth Tub at Camp. Don't they look proud? I would be! You'll have a chance this summer to help us maintain the compost inside the Earth Tub! Can't wait?
