Ways composting at home can benefit you:
-
Composting diverts organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, from landfills. Organic materials in landfills produce methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting reduces these emissions and minimizes the environmental impact of waste disposal.
-
Composting transforms organic waste into soil; an invaluable resource . This nutrient-rich material serves as a sturdy base for all growth. Instead of burying valuable nutrients in landfills, composting allows for the recovery of resources that can be returned to the soil, promoting healthier plant growth and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
-
Composting at home can lead to cost savings by reducing the amount of waste sent to traditional curbside pickup services, which may be subject to fees based on volume.
-
In landfills, organic materials break down anaerobically (without oxygen). The few bacteria that can break material down in these conditions release methane as a byproduct. Composting diverts organics from the landfill, thereby reducing the production of methane gas released into the atmosphere.
Composting at home reduces the demand for landfill space, extending the life of existing landfills and minimizing the need for new landfill sites.
-
Composting provides an educational opportunity for individuals and families to learn about the natural decomposition process and the importance of waste reduction.
Anyone can benefit from practicing composting. Being mindful about waste fosters a sense of environmental pride that can spread community wide.
-
Composting encourages community engagement, as individuals may share composting knowledge, resources, and compost materials with neighbors and friends.
Community composting initiatives strengthen local bonds and promote a sense of collective environmental responsibility.
