Spending time outdoors (or bringing the outside in) is good for the body and the soul. Many children do not have the opportunity or capability to spend time outside, so purposefully including nature whenever possible is the best way to inspire biophilia in this growing generation!

Worm Composting at Airport
When I taught preschool, one of the best things I ever implemented in my classroom was a vermicomposting initiative to make use of the classroom food waste. Ever since I've been QUITE obsessed. And I am apparently not the only one. This article from NPR, One Airport's Trash Is 2 Million Worms' Treasure, discusses how the Charlotte Airport has introduced a massive worm composting project. Some might call it disgusting (that's what my roommates thought when I brought up the idea for our house a few years ago), but it makes me excited to have my own colony of red wiggler worms again!
