You would never believe what’s been through this small backyard compost! 🌱Lots of our small food scraps 🍎🍊🥑🥦🥕🫑🥔but also larger things like whole pumpkins, cardboard boxes📦, newspapers🗞, coconuts🥥 and much more!
It may just look like a container full of dirt but all the small little worms make it possible to say no to the landfills 🗑🚯and turn our everyday scraps into life giving, nutrient-rich soil. ♻️🌍
🗒 Did you know that 80 BILLION pounds of food are thrown away each year just in the US?! That’s roughly 219 lbs per person. 7% of the world’s emissions due to the methane released when these foods sit in the landfills. Equivalent to the greenhouse emissions of 37 MILLION cars 🚗

Composting 🪱is a great way that we can reduce these emissions. While it doesn’t cut out the problem, it is something everyone is able to help out with. It just takes a little time and a little learning is all! 💪🏼🤝
