Ms. Leslie Bernstein shares information from Vivian Lin, Stuy '12, and Founder of Groundcycle; An organization that arranged Bin Swaps for composting and started this year.
They will be running a summer program for high school students called the 'Friends of Food Program'. The goal is to teach students about where their food comes from, how it grows and where it should go once we're done with it... something pretty rare for native New Yorkers to understand. We're also hoping to increase compost drop-off participation at our Vinegar Hill Community Garden site and want the students to be the catalyst for this!
A flyer for the program can be seen at 2021_0515_FoF_Flyer. The application form here will give further information. The deadline is coming up next Friday, June 18th but it should only take a few minutes to fill out.
