Why Compost?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, it is estimated that more food waste is sent to landfill than any other material. Source: The EPA's MSW Fact Sheet 2012. That is a lot of uneaten food, and the worst part is that the wasted food itself is not the end of the problem!
Once all that organic waste is sent to the landfill, it sits in plastic bags and gets added to an ever-growing pile of trash.
Over time, trash is piled on top of each other, preventing oxygen from decomposing the organic material, creating a toxic sludge that releases methane.
This multi-layered problem of organic matter not getting added back into the natural energy cycles of the environment, as well as producing methane, a gas that contributes to the destruction of our protective ozone layer, and growing landfills has detrimental impacts to our quality of life...
If we don't make change happen NOW.
Imagine being part of a community that cares about the environment and each other.
A composting community diverting organic waste plaguing our landfills to produce the compost end-product, “black gold” - a nutrient dense topsoil, an excellent fertilizer for your garden.
Imagine our waste management systems working for us, rather than against us.
