Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor. pdboyer Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:25:23 GMT http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/res/Education_in_BLM/riparian_module.html Introduce students or youth group members to riparian areas--what they are, how they function, and why they are important to the community.

In "Making Stuff: Cleaner," David Pogue explores the rapidly developing science and business of clean energy and examines alternative ways to generate it, store it, and distribute it. Is hydrogen the way to go? What about lithium batteries? Does this solve an energy problem or create a new dependency? Pogue investigates the latest developments in bio-based fuels and in harnessing solar energy for our cars, homes, and industry in a program full of the stuff of a sustainable future. pdboyer Sat, 29 Jan 2011 21:32:51 GMT http://planet-connect.org/gamestation Planet Connect environmental games probably most fit for middle school pdboyer Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:22:28 GMT
