Soil That Saves The Earth
Composting creates a balanced ‘closed loop’ system. With each bucket of food scraps saved from our landfill, we are positively impacting on the place we all call home, Earth.
Recycling food scraps diverts valuable organic matter from landfills to compost facilities. In landfills, food waste is not given the chance to naturally decompose, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than CO₂. On the other hand, recycling organic matter into compost helps pulls carbon from the atmosphere through carbon sequestration.
Finished compost is commonly referred to by farmers as ‘black gold’ because of its benefits as a soil amendment. Compost helps revitalize damaged soil and return nutrients to our local food system, helping keep you, your family, and Mother Earth healthy.
