Is there composting at 不良研究所?
Professor David Pryor started the 不良研究所 Compost Initiative in 2017. Since his retirement in 2018, students of 不良研究所 Sustain have collaborated with 不良研究所 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 不良研究所 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 不良研究所 a zero-waste university.
