David Temple, a 4th grade teacher and owner of PeoplePoweredMachines.com, is currently developing a pilot curriculum and program for the RolyPig Composters in the school environment. David has used decomposition and composting in his classes as a springboard for a wide range of lessons, including physical and chemical changes that occur during decomposition, studies of food webs and nutrient cycling, soil building and conservation, recycling projects, and waste-reduction mandates.

If you are a school or teacher interested in this program please contact David Temple.

PPM is proud to help bring composting and environmental values to children and schools everywhere.
