First of the Month Challenge: July

Let it Rot

Composting is easy and oddly rewarding.  If you are not already composting, I challenge you to get started.  My family has both a bio orb and a tumbler outside.  We alternate between them depending on what stage each one is in.  We have a container in the kitchen for food scraps and the like as well as a couple of small containers in each bathroom for any paper products that can be composted.  

Composting is something that takes almost no effort and anyone can do it.  You don't want to compost or you don't think you have anything to compost?  Consider this, according to the EPA in 2015, 39 million tons of food waste was created with only 5.3 percent of that being composted instead of being sent to the landfill or incinerated.  Food is the largest single material being sent to landfills and amounts to 22 percent of all solid waste.  That means nearly a quarter of your trash is food.  I'll discuss food waste in more detail in an upcoming post.

I have plenty of posts about composting that can be helpful for you, you can check out a composting book from your library, or you can email me with any questions and I'm happy to help.  

These are the products that my family uses:
