How to Manage Garbage in Our School

Trash can be found everywhere, including in our school. Almost in every activity we did, we produced waste. If we don't manage this waste properly, this waste can pollute our school. This week I want to share some suggestion how to manage garbage in our school to make our school healthy and beautiful. Check it out ! :)

Here is some suggestion to reduce waste in our school. Your efforts may provide the additional benefit of saving money as well. Remember, even small changes can make a big difference! :p
- Make double-sided copies whenever possible. This can dramatically reduce your paper usage.
- Instead of making individual copies for everyone, use a routing slip when circulating information to students or teacher, or post notices on a bulletin board. Better yet, an electronic bulletin board.
- Use reusable envelopes for interoffice mail.
- Canteen use reusable utensils instead of disposable packaging.

Now, I want to share how to make compost step by step.
1. Shred and chop.
Shred or chop materials as finely as you can before mixing them into the pile. For example, you can chop fallen leaves by running your lawn mower over them. The same strategy applies to kitchen scraps. "The smaller, the better” is the rule for compost ingredients. 

2. Mix dry browns and wet greens.
The two basic types of ingredients for making compost are those rich in carbon and those rich in nitrogen. Carbon-rich materials, or “dry browns,” include leaves, hay, and straw. Nitrogen-rich materials, or “wet greens,” include kitchen scraps and grass clippings, these work best when used sparsely and mixed in well so they don’t mat down. Your goal is to keep a fair mix of these materials throughout the pile.

From Garbage to Garden

3. Strive for size.
Build the pile at least 3 × 3 × 3 (or 4) feet so materials will heat up and decompose quickly. (Don’t make the pile too much bigger than that, though, or it will be hard to turn.) Unless you have this critical mass of materials, your compost pile can’t really get cooking. Check the pile a couple of days after it is built up, it should be hot in the middle, a sign that your microbial decomposers are working hard.

4. Add water as needed.
Make sure the pile stays moist, but not too wet. (It should feel like a damp sponge.) You may need to add water occasionally. Or, if you live in a very wet climate, you may need to cover the pile with a tarp to keep it from becoming too wet.

5. Keep things moving.
Moving your compost adds air to the mix. You can open up air holes by getting in there with a pitchfork. Even better, shift the entire pile over a few feet, bit by bit, taking care to move what was on the outside to the inside of the new pile. Or consider using a compost tumbler, a container that moves the materials for you when you turn it.

I hope my suggestions can make our school become more clean and healthy. Thank you :D

     In 1828 King George III gave the Klencke Atlas to the British Library as part of a larger gift of maps and atlases. In 1950 it was rebound and restored. Today this atlas is held by the Antiquarian Mapping division of the British Library in London. Since 1998 it was displayed at the entrance lobby of the maps reading room.

The Most Expensive Magazine.

     In June 2009, Nomenus Quarterly, a limited-edition folio of original or previously unpublished images, reduced its print run to 10 copies from 50 and raised the price for a copy from $2,500 (then £1,500) to $6,500 (then £4,000).

One of Heck's work - Nomenus Quarterly

     Nomenus Quarterly began publication 2007 under Erik Madigan Heck, its founder and editor in chief. All works are specifically created for each edition or previously unpublished. Nomenus Quarterly appears online four times per year, and additionally in print as a series of limited-edition folios and books.

     Erik Madigan Heck was born at 1983. He is an American photographer, a U.S. correspondent for A Magazine, and the founder editor of Nomenus Quarterly. He is also the youngest person to photograph Neiman Marcus' prestigious "Art of Fashion" campaign, which he shot in 2012.

     In its April 2011 issue, Photo District News magazine named Heck one of the 30 “new and emerging photographers to watch.”
     Heck was born in Excelsior Minnesota. Heck was exposed to art and museums in Minneapolis from an early age by his parents and he began photographing at the age of 14. In 2002, as a senior in high school, Heck received the Alliance for Young Artist & WritersScholastic Art Awards Gold Medal for his work in photography.

     Name Nomenus Quaterly found by Heck when he would walk into his building everyday and see this little sign on the door that said "Nomenus." And he never got it. He thought someone had tagged the door. And then one day, like six months later, he realized that it was just "no menus," and there was no space between it. It had taken him that long to understand it, and he thought it was amazing that such little space made me unable to see its true meaning. He thought that was a pretty big symbol for what he wanted Nomenus to be as a publication or as this "thing." And it worked because 95% of people don't get it. They think it's Latin or something profound. And it's really just "no menus."

     Heck had been looking at magazines that existed in art and fashion and none of them really functioned the way he wanted a publication to function. None of them are really showcasing worthwhile art or fashion—they're just in a weird in-between place. So he wanted to cultivate very specific idea of aesthetics in art and fashion was, and what he felt was being missed or bypassed by the abundance of mainstream pop culture. He wanted to feature the important artists and designers—not necessarily the trendy new kids and he wanted you to see their work, not their faces...
