Today we went to the ecohouse and the compost facility. Our guide showed us how the compost worked and how they collected the food from Shively dining hall and Central foods. She spoke about the expansion of the facility and how they were getting a compost machine that was three times as big as the one they already had. This will produce a lot of compost, which they use throughout OU's campus. They are funded by grants. The ecohouse is a house that has many different features to save energy and be ecofriendly.
