Congratulations Shivani and Shweta

National Finalists Project: Fertilizer Gone Green

Shivani and Shweta are students at John F. Kennedy High School in Plainview, Long Island. In the middle of the winter they called Vokashi for information about our composting methods. They developed a project now called "Fertilizer Gone Green", which they placed in three environmental competitions:

1. Siemens We Can Change the World: placed as National Finalists
2. The Research Association Fair: given honorable mentions
3. Molloy College High School Science Fair: 4'x2'x12' given honorable mentions

Here is a link to their Facebook page, Fertilizer Gone Green.

"It is just so encouraging to see these students studying the world of microorganisms," says Vandra Thorburn, president of Vokashi – kitchen waste solution.

Vokashi continues to support and encourage the collaborative efforts of students and others who want to research and explore the sciences involved in food waste and environmental issues.
