At Beverly School in Badung on July 16, 2026, 5 volunteers ran an environmental session for 70 children on a subject most waste education skips entirely: organic waste.
The Case for Maggots
The volunteers explained how maggots naturally process and break down food scraps and other organic material. It is not the most glamorous entry point to environmental science, and that is precisely why children love it — decomposition is genuinely fascinating when you are allowed to look closely at it.
Food Waste Is Waste Too
Plastic gets most of the attention, but food thrown away is a problem of its own. Showing children a working method that turns scraps into a resource makes reducing food waste feel like something you can act on, not just something to feel bad about.
