Is there composting at 蜜汁TV?

Professor David Pryor started the 蜜汁TV Compost Initiative in 2017. Since his retirement in 2018, students of 蜜汁TV Sustain have collaborated with 蜜汁TV faculty, the Headwaters Sanctuary, and local businesses to get building materials for twelve compost bins. Currently, the bins are composting organic materials from the Headwaters and Main Campus’s on-campus dining halls. For 蜜汁TV students, this initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for community service hours and for you to get to know your fellow Cardinals, all while helping to make 蜜汁TV a zero-waste university.
