This project will focus on an environmental problem associated with waste produced by the horse racing industry, what is known as “the horse bed”.
Students proposed the implementation of a worm compost (vermicompost) production module. The aim of this is that it will allow students to learn how to manipulate all aspects related to the production and selling of a natural fertilizer like worm compost (vermicompost), and it will enable them to imagine, in the near future, a local source of green work.

A rural town of just a few inhabitants wants to see butterflies again. Driven by this idea, they proposed to adapt gardens and town squares for butterflies to be able to complete their life cycle.
The proposal supports not only the production of biodiversity, but also aims at the possibility of developing tourism around these small insects and the beautiful flora that allows this by creating a huge mural in the town entrance.

Biocap is designed to provide a solution to the environmental problem of disposing household oils. The project creates a primary collecting center for used vegetable oils. The school also has an agreement with a company that is authorized to process the used oil into biodiesel. The school receives a large barrel for used vegetable oil from the company, and the household containers are emptied using a system designed and created by the students themselves.
In the near future, the students hope to encourage others in the community to create primary collecting centers as well.

The focus of this project is to analyze the population of lichens found in trees within different areas of San Antonio de Giles town. The study of these lichens is important because they can be indicators of the quality of the air we are breathing. In order to define a parameter, the students plan to analyze the presence, or absence, of lichens in different parts of town. They also proposed an investigation on the density of the population of lichens and the analysis of the different types of lichens found. This analysis takes into account their color, appearance and the lichen’s grouping/type (foliose, fruticose, crustose). By analyzing the lichens the students are able to check and/or refute their hypothesis about the feasibility of solely using this method to monitor the quality of the air we breathe.

This project aims to create a place that will focus on increasing the community’s biodiversity. The goal is to reap the environmental benefits that emerge from creating a park of native vegetation at the town’s old railroad station. This will hopefully also entice tourists to visit the town because of the value created by enhancing the local nature of their flora and fauna.
With the help of the specialist in native flora Dr. Gabriel Burgueño, the students prepared and presented a draft to the Municipality of San Andres de Giles to manage the permits with the Railway authorities.
Currently, they are waiting final approval to continue working.
