About 80 second graders from Earths Magnet School in Newbury Park recently visited Agromin’s Oxnard composting facility. Each year, the school’s second grade classes come to Agromin to learn how green waste turns into compost and watch how it is then bagged for sale. Agromin’s Dave Green shows the kids how to monitor the temperature of the compost (see picture above) to make sure it’s at optimum levels.
Agromin’s message of organic recycling and sustainability fits perfectly with the school’s emphasis on environmental science and technology.
