Composting Food

Waste

By recycling our food waste through

composting, we can effectively turn an

environmental liability in the landfill into an

environmental asset for the earth.

Composting increases humus levels in soils

and increases the range of minerals and

micro-organisms in the garden. Composting

also increases carbon sequestration, which

helps absorb greenhouse gas emissions and

prevent further ozone layer depletion.
