GREEN TIP OF THE MONTH
Consider Composting!
can take a month to break down, and its nutrients end up wasted, trapped in the landfill liner! Composting — the process of using food scraps to create rich soil — is faster, and you end up with lovely, nutrient-dense earth to use for your houseplants or your garden. If your city has a public composting program, take advantage of it. And if it doesn’t, consider starting your own backyard compost pile. The kids in your life would love to help out, and you’ll end up living a bit lighter on Mother Earth. Head to your city’s website or visit EPA.gov/Recycle/ Composting-Home to get started.
Did you know that Americans throw away between 30% and 40% of the food in their food supply? According to the USDA, that’s more than 130 billion pounds of food that goes into landfills every year! It’s sad to think that good food, which takes so much energy and work to produce, is being dumped in trash heaps instead of feeding families. The best things you can do to avoid food waste are 1) buy only what you need, 2) eat what you have, and 3) donate what you can. If you’re already doing that, you can go a step further by composting. We think that when we throw our apple cores and banana peels into the trash can, they’ll go back to the earth right away, but it’s a slow process.
