Sustainable LR
At Lower Richland High School sustainable practices are important. We understand our obligation to do all we can to improve our community, our nation, and our planet, to make it a better place.
Food Waste Diversion:
A large food dryer in the cafeteria removes water from food prep waste.
The volume of the waste is reduced 90% by the dryer.
The 10% that is leftover gets discharged and is compostable material.
Composting and Gardening:
Here the worms convert the compostable material form the cafeteria into a
nutrient-rich fertilizer that will be used to grow produce.
That produce can then be used by the nutrition and culinary arts classes.
Solar Power:
A solar array installed on campus provides enough energy to power the irrigation and
cooling systems in the newly renovated greenhouse, in addition to adding a small amount back to the power grid.
