This summer, we teamed up with Pretend City Children's Museum to bring hands-on vermicomposting education to young learners! ♻️🪱🌱

Through interactive presentations and activities, kids explore how worms help recycle food scraps into nutrient-rich compost, learning firsthand how small actions can make a big impact for our planet! Together, we’re making organics recycling fun, engaging and accessible for the next generation of environmental stewards.
