What the petition asks
As part of their science classes, children could have an applied session to plant and harvest vegetables. In the process, they could learn the benefits of growing one's greens, composting & recycling & the benefits for the environment.
Education is the basis of a good, responsible citizen. In light of the current climate, it is important that future generations understand the basis of a sustainable economy, food sourcing and waste management.
