After the brainstorm, the Findon Planet Savers decided that each classroom including the staff room needed a compost bin. The two major problem solving issues the FPS recognised is that the compost bins were not successful in previous trials because the bins had no lid. The second issue was that the bucket sizes needed to be a suitable, medium size for the classroom.
Sourcing the buckets proved to be easier than anticipated and came from a local pasta sauce factory, equipped with lids!
On Thursday, the FPS held a meeting to discuss the labels for the compost buckets and how to communicate the new program to the school. One student had the idea of constructing badges to create "Compost Monitors" for each classroom. With the badge making machine available the students began creating badges and decided the leaders would introduce the program at the Friday assembly.
The labels for the compost buckets were simple so that it was easy to read for all year levels. Signs were then created to show what could and could not go in the compost buckets.
