Composting Bin Project//







Do you love food, but hate wasting it? Would you like to reduce waste in a simple and beneficial way?


After my experiences and skills gained in my Sustainable Engineering Class and group projects, I now, have a better answer.

Composting is an amazing process. Instead of flowing all your organic waste away with the toxic or, inorganic trashes, all of your organic waste such as; banana peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, egg cartons, and other scraps, here is what you can simply do whit them, put them into your compost bin. In just three month time, they shall be transformed into something you really wanted: rich, dark, organic fertilizer for you plants, or “Black Gold” according to my Science teacher, Bill Becker.

In our community a Compost Bin can be very useful especially in the rural area farmers can use it, and it can also be used at home so, you can help embellish our world by turning trash, that are organic into “Black Gold” or Compost.

In this Class we have a privilege to build different projects that are sustainable and that allows us to spend some time working together. In my team every member “equally”, contributed, and we come up with this beautiful Compost Bin.


Drawing Description

Composting Bin, draw by Louis
 Two giant solid X's to support the Compost Bin one in each side. The barrel contains two holes one in each side. There is a pipe or a PVC to match the post and drill or tied with two pieces of woods inside to facilitate the rotation and there a turner in one side. There is also a small gate were to put the organic materials in which can then close firmly.

Team members,


This Composting bin project was doing at Mount Hood Community College Gresham Campus, now it’s maintain, and use by a family that live in Troutdale, Oregon to use to create food for their plants in their house yard.

Importance of drawing

Image
Have you ever draw something that you have in your mind? Drawing is something innate in me, and while I was growing up I learn how important that it should be in someone’s life. In this page, I am going to discuss positive aspect of drawing base on my own experience of using it to express feelings, send messages and relieve stress. Drawing has great value that express strong feeling. I use drawing to describe my objectives and express my emotions by drawing things that are related to my short and long term goal in college. When I was in the US, in my bedroom there were a lot of pictures on the wall. They were just like the sing light in the streets there roles were to remind me why I was in the USA. I also used drawing to illustrate my journals. I drew Images which appropriate to my writings especially for English class in order to memorize them. Drawing can be interpreted in different ways and use to transmit messages. I draw pictures about me which can help people to unde...

Natural Resources & Environmental Engineering

As this class introduces us to alternative engineering technologies that can be used at home in our countries more precisely in rural, and underdeveloped communities, and countries to ameliorate environmental conditions, Public health, and we also learn how to face many other challenges.  We do a lot of trips, going to many different sites to learn about what some organizations, and people are doing. We saw, and learned about many works that are related to our field of study, and also we always have a guess speaker to share experiences, and teach us about many different topics that are mostly focus on sustainable practices using local materials, and effective engineering strategies.  Composting at Troutdale, Oregon        Last week we had an opportunity to hear one of our famous science teachers in campus, Mr. Bill H. Becker to talk about composting, which in my group for our engineered project; we are working on building a Composting ...
