"Kristin School’s The Roots and Shoots Waste Team is made up of 20 students, whose primary goal is to keep waste out of landfill. They have worked hard to ensure all food packaging is compostable, and operate five compost bins around the school. They also run an educational Instagram account that carries their message beyond the school gates."
