(d) Explain what you completed.    
I attempted to complete a compost. However after I already got over zealous on my project, I noticed that it takes months for worms to break down the food.... so I would have needed a lot more worms to get the dirt that I was going for. 

(e) Defend your work and explain the component's significance and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.   

(f)How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 
This project made me realize how difficult my first answer to my EQ was. I thought it was a slam dunk get rid of food waste, but it turned out to be far more difficult than I anticipated and more time consuming. Some may think its easy to get rid of food waste, but it takes hours to up keep a compost and a lot of people aren't willing to dedicate that type of time.
