Final Project Update

My final project on the composting program at UNH is working out so far. I haven't been in contact with anyone yet but I did get a lot of information from websites about UNH's compost program. The program started in the early 2000's and is a collaborative effort between College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, the Office of Sustainability, NH Agricultural Experiment Station and UNH Dining Services. I previously wrote a paper on the topic but that was more of a research paper and I would love to get video, pictures and audio to really make the story come alive. I still have some of those contacts from that story and I will try to get into contact with them again. Here are some of the websites that I have gotten my information from so far:

These are all good starting points to begin my project. This week I will contact some of my sources and set up interview dates. I also would like to get video of the farm where the composting happens and of the dining hall where the food goes through the grinder and into the buckets.
