almost 50 lbs composted - just two adults!!
that’s significant poundage when food and organic waste is so lightweight.
I really don’t think most people realize just how much can be composted in their own homes.
it’s not just food scraps, egg shells, and coffee grounds.
you can compost paper products like toilet paper rolls and napkins, as well as cardboard (no tape/stickers)
hair, fur, nails, pizza boxes… anything that is organic.
organic meaning anything made up of carbon (not to be confused with USDA organic, a certification)
sending our organic, compostable to the landfill (or putting it down the garbage disposal) is hurting our planet and our health.
excessive methane and carbon dioxide are released from landfills, directly contributing to a warmer atmosphere and overall climate.
yes, corporations NEED to be held accountable…
but if I can do my part to reduce the harm, why not try it?
let me know if you compost!
