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?

Composting Tub

Wondering what you're looking at? Well, this is the location of our new Earth Tub! It's located behind the dining hall right next to our accessibility ramp. Our composting program will be brand new at Camp this summer. I hope you're looking forward to helping the environment by placing your waste in our Earth Tub. Not everything that isn't used during meals will be able to go into the tub, but we will make sure you know. Check back every now and then as we hope the Earth Tub will be completed by the end of the month! Can't wait until then? Go to google.com and search "earth tub" or "composting" and see the results that you get. Those will be some good clues until you get to see the real thing this summer. Remember, now there is only 133 days until session one, 147 days until session two, 161 days until session three, 168 days until session four, 175 days until session five and only 182 days until session six!
