LESEC composting center (Reflection)

The composting center was an invaluable experience detailing the benefits of such a simple to implement process. The more I learnt about the composting process and center, the more angry I became knowing how “sustainable” the newschool portrays itself to be, yet doesn’t actually have any composting process in its facilities. It was also upsetting to see how passionate the workers were about sustainability, yet how little funding and care their facility had been given. It was said their facility will be renovated in the year 2020, however I could also sense the disdain in the workers voice as they said this, as they’d obviously been promised a renovation in the past. Their collection box is a sad visual representation of the whole center. A functional facility with good intentions, yet no financial care. I feel like funding is necessary to organize and refine the composting system as it seemed much of the facility showcased old experiments and small demos for schools and tour groups. Although their facility and system functions just fine. I know for sure with the right funding, the composting turn around would increase exponentially; the system would be more organized and the visual aesthetic of the compound could appear more inviting and less of an abandoned junk yard or garbage dump; intern drawing more visitors/food donations.
