    Great job pulling in the amount of resources that you did. it must be hard to collect such an immense amount of work and kudos to you. on the standards of the poster I think it holds a ton of important information but I think it is kind of hard to digest I ended up running all the way down to the takeaways due to the fact that it was so much!

    Hello, this is a very well done infographic. I like how it starts off by giving the reader a definition of composting to help those readers like me who really aren’t too familiar with the process. I also enjoy reading the benefits that composting can have like how it helps with climate change which is something a lot of people care about. I like how it then focuses on campuses and communities are involved as well.

    I liked the fact that you included images of the signage that is on the green bins that are meant for soiled food and other degradable materials because I have caught myself needing a reminder of what I can and can’t dispose of in those bins. It’s that personal experience that makes me strongly support infographics such as these that provide easy-to-read information that will hopefully be nested into the reader’s mind as to why composting and being environmentally conscientious is important.

    Wow! there is so much information in this infographic. I liked the colors and patterns throughout the infographic, it flows well together and fits in with the topic. I thought starting off with how composting is great for our environment and then gradually moving on to who is getting involved in composting and finally what resources we can use ourselves is fantastic! It makes the infographic fun to read. Overall, great job!

    This infographic does a great job of introducing composting. I understand how to compost because you taught me how in the first half of the infographic. And then I learned why it is important to compost because of the negative impacts of improper waste management. It was also encouraging to see the ways that our school manages its waste properly, it aligns well with our Marianist ideals.

    Good topic for an infographic it was just very wordy. There aren’t a lot of graphs or statistics that relays to the information. But it was an interesting concept I think the information included was very crucial.

    I really liked the recycling logos on the title!. I was unaware of the 139.60 million tons of waste here in the United States, that is such a high number. I also did not know that we can use bones, meat, paper and cardboard for compost. But thanks to this infographic I now know what I can use to help our community gardens. The image that was provided in the “Trash, Compost and Recycling Separate” section really helped me distinguish what should be used for compost and what should be thrown into the recycling bin. I really hope more people see this amazing infographic so that we can all contribute to stopping the high number we have of landfill waste in order to save our planet.

    Hello and wow! What an eye catching and provoking title! It’s no secret that composting is an easier feat to accomplish when you are living off campus, maybe with your parents or on your own, but I loved that this infograph included peace of mind for students by providing examples of how St. Mary’s University is contributing to composting on campus. Even if you are living on campus it is good to know the impact that composting can have and that you can still be an advocate through social media.

    This infographic is one of my favorites. When I take out my trash. I noticed a green bin with pictures of food on it. I had no idea that the city of San Antonio was collecting food scrapings to use as compost. Now that I know that the city uses food scrapings to better the environment. I’ll set aside my banana peels and other produce to put in the green bin. GO GREEN!

    A service from the city I was unaware from I know some neighborhoods don’t even have recycling bins. I know that alot of the items thrown in the trash are left over food and especially on campus it’s good to know that St.Mary’s does there part with recycling grease, food and paper products. One item i find difficult exposing properly are car batteries and regular batteries like those you find in a TV remote as they have acid inside.
