Mumbai Boy Learns Nature Through Composting Since Age Two
This Mumbai Boy Has Been Composting Since He Was 2, and Learning How Nature Works · thebetterindia.com

Sonika Bhasin teaches sustainability through everyday activities at home.

Her son has been composting since he was two years old.

Food scraps go into a composter with cocopeat.

The mixture is covered and left to break down.

While watching it, he has seen maggots and grubs.

He learned that these creatures help nature instead of needing to be feared.

Composting also shows him that food waste can become part of a new natural cycle.

Bhasin believes children can learn about the environment by taking part in real activities.
