Our Field Trip

     What a wonderful day for a field trip!  We first traveled to The Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center.  We learned what can be recycled, as well as more about reusing, reducing, and rebuying.  Then we got a tour of the behind-the-scenes of recycling!  Here Andrew points to the mounds of plastic and paper!Next we traveled to Cass Park to eat lunch, play on the playground, and check out the Ithaca children's garden.  Here's a class picture in front of the garden!
Finally we ended up at Cayuga Compost and learned what happens to the food we send here from our school. We saw the many piles and learned of the process of composting. We got to view the end product and were given a bucket of compost to take home with us!
