YANGON, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- On a drizzly morning in Yangon, Myanmar, the schoolyard of No. 15 Basic Education Primary School in Thingangyun township came alive as about 50 students in white-and-green uniform set their hands to food scraps, leaves, and soil, discovering how everyday waste could be reborn as compost for their garden.
The lesson was part of an environmental awareness program organized by the Environmental Conservation Department under Myanmar's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation, in partnership with Bokashi Myanmar, a group that trains communities to recycle organic waste.
