Topic:  Home Composting

Today, we have many environmental issues to consider and sometimes we wonder "What can I do as an individual to contribute to the solution?" or "What did I do to help cause the problem?"

Every day we make decisions; how we dispose of our household waste, deciding on what types of products to buy (recyclable, made from recycled content, small amounts with more packaging, large quantities with less packaging), should we take the car, car pool or possibly walk to our destination.

Home composting is an easy step for each of us to take to begin the process. It takes about 10-20 minutes per week, uses a small amount of yard space and provides us with a opportunity to get rid of something we have so much of (kitchen scraps and yard debris) and create something of greater value (compost).

Where do we start?
