Are you tired of stinky trash and using plastic bags to line your garbage cans? Food waste is what causes our garbage to rot, stink and slime (and of course if you use single use diapers and/or menstrual pads/tampons). Take a look through your trash! If a container is stinking, it’s likely likely due to a pieces of food in it. Did you know that because rotting food is so abundant in our trash, animals are diverting their natural migratory patterns so that they can visit landfills? Where they then fill their stomachs with plastic pieces they confuse with food. Since plastic isn’t digested, it fills their stomachs causing them to feel satisfied when really they are starving and malnourished. . So what‘s one habit that you can acquire that will make a major difference? Start composting! There are 3 different types of common household composting methods: aerobic, anerobic, and vermicompost. Both aerobic and anerobic are best suited for outdoor compost piles/bins. Aerobic is fast working, but also requires more maintence (every few weeks you should turn/mix the pile) vs. anerobic requires little to no maintence - just make sure the pile is damp but not wet, and covered away from critters, then in 6-12 months you will have nutrient rich soil at the bottom of your compost. . Vermicomposting on the other hand can be done inside! And don’t worry- it won’t stink. A common spot to keep your vermicompost is under the kitchen sink - making composting easy peasy 🍋 You can also chose smaller or larger bins depending on how much compost you produce.
