Turning Food Waste into New Life
Every year, tons of food waste end up in landfills where it produces harmful greenhouse gases like methane. But there’s a simple, natural solution: composting. Composting transforms food scraps and organic waste into nutrient-rich soil that can be used in gardens, parks, and farms. By composting, we not only reduce waste but also create something valuable for our environment.
What is Composting?
Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste - such as fruit peels, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and yard trimmings — into healthy soil. It’s a natural recycling system powered by bacteria, fungi, and worms.
When you compost:
-
You reduce landfill waste.
-
You cut harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
-
You create natural fertilizer that enriches the soil.
How You Can Start Composting at Home
Composting doesn’t require a garden or big space. Anyone can do it!
-
Kitchen Composting: Use a small indoor bin for fruit & veggie scraps.
-
Balcony Composting: Compact composters or bokashi bins are perfect for small apartments.
-
Garden Composting: Outdoor compost piles or bins are ideal for families with green space.
Tip: Avoid meat, dairy, and oily foods — they don’t compost well and can attract pests.
