EARTH WORM
• The waste gathered in our school created pollution and it was not disposed properly. Bad odors came out of noon meal wastes. Day to day it caused many problems to our school surroundings. We felt this problem should be solved in a good manner.
Step 1: Feel
• To find the solution for this problem , we decided to visit some waste management areas.
• We had visited Vivekananda Kendra to observe the Vermiculture process.
• We selected a limited students to go and observe the waste management process.
• The students are advised to take a Video camera with them to record the process of vermiculture .

Kendra Visit with our Mentor Teacher Mrs. M.Kohila
•To keep clean our school campus by converting the degradable wastes into manure.•To prepare Vermicomposed manure at our home.•To find innovative ideas to multiply the worms in large scale.•To grow herbal garden in our school and to give awareness on natural products.
•To supply the manure to the needy farmers.•To give global awareness on vermiculture.
Purpose
• We discussed with our mentor teacher Mrs. M.Kohila.B.T.Asst. Many ideas came out such as:• Separate degradable waste and non degradable
waste.• Non degradable wastes should be disposed
properly.• Prepare Vermicompost in our school.
Step 2: Imagine
•Vermicompost is an eco friendly natural fertilizer• It does not have any adverse effect on soil, plant and environment.•It improves water retention capacity of soil because of its high organic matter content.• It promotes better root growth and nutrient absorption.• Earthworm castings in the home garden often contain 5 to 11 times more nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium as the surrounding soil.•Promoting home composting as a solution to reduce global warming caused by methane by degradable waste in landfills.•We could solve our Waste disposing problem in an useful manner.

Fill the pit with agro waste ,cow dung, and
fallen leaves from trees
Leave it for two weeks.sprinkle water regularly.
Waste from Noon meal centre is put into the pit.
Our Activities…….
After two weeks earth worm was applied on the bedding
After three weeks We can observe the Vermicomposed manure at the top of the pit. (The appearance of black granular crumbly powder on top of vermibeds indicate harvest stage of the compost. )
Our Activities…….
•Watering is stopped for at least 5 days at this stage. •The earthworms go down and the compost is collected from the top.•Separate the baby worms and worm cocoons from it by sieving method.
Now the manure is ready to use.
Our Activities…….

Expectation of our project
How we were ‘Changed’
• We found a solution on Waste Management.• We learnt the value of collaboration and
sharing .• And we learnt that Wastes are misplaced
resources and if we placed it in a correct place, it would become resource.
• We have changed our attitudes on wastes and changed other’s attitudes too.
