The Carbon Sinking in Action Project is an initiative from Hibiscus Coast Zero Waste Zero Carbon, helping schools use food scraps to grow topsoil and capture carbon- an easy yet effective climate action!
The materials and videos on the website are all provided free for everyone to use to start carbon sinking.

Module One: Bokashi composting with biochar
Module Two: Carbon sinking to transform soil
Module Three: Zero Waste, Zero Carbon
The project has been running successfully in Auckland schools, since its inception in 2019. It has been evaluated and revised into an easy, effective system. Year 7-10 students can be actively engaged in real climate action when diverting food scraps, bokashi composting, using biochar and restoring soil.
Carbon Sinking in Action is helping schools to adapt to a changing climate, mitigate risks and build resilience to climate related events and effects, while working towards zero waste and zero carbon.
