Description : This is a continuation of a project from Fall 2017 where students from Professor Steve Rodie’s Landscape Appreciation course and Mrs. Rachael Arens’ Omaha Northwest AP Environmental Science students jointly presented proposals for various sustainable material management techniques throughout Northwest High School and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. For the project this semester, ONW used their understanding of composting to build a composter for a Bellevue Restaurant, and to teach the employees of the restaurant how to use it. This project reinforces classroom curriculum for UNO and ONW students by further learning about sustainable materials management techniques in a real-world setting.
