KAREN KERKHOFF Sun Staff Students in School District No. 9 are tuming green—but not with envy!

And it’s no mistake that the program is directed towards school-age children who, by the year 2000, will be young adults and therefore have great ecologic impact and input in their communities. Part of the program reinforces the importance of the 3Rs while the second Portion focuses on worm composting. Armed with a ; truck- load of Props the Green Team showed students how to compost with red wigglers—otherwise known as worms. Amidst squeamish giggles, team members instructed wide-eyed students the steps to take towards suc- cessful composting. Kinnaird Elementary School student Katie Phipps, 11, said her family composts, but told Sun Staff she was concerned about the ecologic future of the world. “T think about my kids and my kid’s kids and what will happen to them with all the garbage in the world.” Fellow classmate Nicole Kuf- fert, 11, also wonders the same thing. Although she and her fami- ly live in an apartment, and there- fore find composting difficult, she said she intends to help her family compost when they move into a house. The Green Team will visit over 150 schools during the 1994/1994 school year. HAIR-4-U; Hair Care & More.
