Many of us volunteers work with our local schools to get them set up with compost heaps and sometimes we also offer help for gardening clubs with growing schemes and such like. Recently we have benefited from Severn Trent Water also offering help with environmental education programmes, this is a great link because it links to the gardening in particular but also they offer tours of their sewage treatment works for schools which is a (sort of) composting process with the aerobic settling tanks ultimately creating a sludgely product which gets spread on the land. They also have anaerobic digestors at some of their sites which interests some of us composters too. Its great to big companies doing their bit and very helpful for us when we are working in schools to know that there is other support out there too back up the waste prevention message too.
