<p class="MsoNormal">Good Afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We received a call from a couple of teachers in Miami-Dade County looking to start a composting program at their school. The project is just in the beginning stages and they are considering purchasing a food digester. They wanted to know
if we could recommend any resources for composting on the school level and obtaining a digester that the kids could put the food into, with a process that would be easy for them to understand. They were also considering buying some type of a food composting
kit, but thought the digester would be easier to use. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you have any resources or recommendations we could send these teachers. Any help would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely, <o:p></o:p></p>
