Hands On Projects: Energy Auditing and Vermicomposting

A great day of hard work and learning!
Making a vermicomposting bin
Learning how to harvest vermicompost worms, good fun!
Ivory Mclintock of the Blue Planet Foundation give students an introduction into energy in Hawai'i and the how to conduct energy audits to know how energy efficient a room or building is or is not.

Continuing on the theme of "waste management and recycling," we spent the rest of the afternoon at Kapolei High school learning how worms can turn our kitchen waste into nourishing compost (vermicomposting). It was hands-on learning, you'll see!  We also snuck in a lesson on conducing energy audits in buildings to help conserve energy.
