Talitha’s video was a Finalist in the 6th through 8th grade age bracket of the Take Care of Texas Video Contest this season.
Many Texas students worked hard to produce creative videos for the contest. The videos covered a range of topics such as tips to save energy, ways to save water, the importance of clean air and water, recycling and reducing trash, and more!
The contest runs in the fall each year. Learn more on our Video Contest webpage.
Talitha’s video is specifically tailored to composting as a way to reuse and reduce waste. She identifies items that can be added to a compost pile and how to maintain the pile. Composting also helps to retain moisture in soil; a layer of compost in your garden reduces the amount of water it needs. Her message emphasizes a circular system of reusing waste, which benefits our gardens and other plants.
