Get Free Composting Tools for Your Classroom
Let's Go Compost is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to making composting free and accessible throughout the United States. Our mission is to revolutionize waste management, reduce landfill waste, and combat harmful greenhouse gas emissions. We work to ensure composting reaches all, irrespective of location or income.
Our K-12 STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) classroom composting program is designed to enrich the educational experience of students by integrating composting practices into the curriculum. Through this initiative, we aim to enhance environmental literacy, foster a deeper understanding of waste reduction and recycling, and inspire the next generation of environmentally conscious citizens.
