What started as a high school project has become a force for change across Cherokee County. Compost, the newest form of waste reduction that will soon help make some gardens bloom a little brighter. “It’s something that I always wanted to do, but it just gave me time to sit down, plan it out and be like ‘Hey! Maybe this would work out,” said Emily Welch, Columbus High School student. Welch partnered with fellow senior Casey Soper and quickly the project began coming together. “My teacher told me the K-State Extension office had a grant for composting. I was like ‘Oh my gosh, everything is aligning,'” said Welch.
