Bill > HB06238

This bill proposes establishing a pilot program in public schools focused on studying food waste and exploring ways to reduce environmental impact through composting. The program aims to create an educational opportunity for school communities to learn about waste management and environmental sustainability. By conducting this study, schools will be able to examine their current food waste practices, measure the environmental consequences of food waste, and develop strategies for more sustainable disposal methods, with a particular emphasis on composting as a potential solution. The pilot program is intended to serve as an instructional intervention that not only addresses environmental concerns but also provides students and staff with practical knowledge about waste reduction and ecological responsibility.
