Did you know that we send about 40-50% of our food scraps and organic material, like fallen leaves, to landfills? Landfills don't allow for proper decomposition so those materials end up releasing harmful methane into the atmosphere as they break down. To avoid this much waste, we can compost instead! Michele and Java Bradley, the founders of Java's Compost, help individuals make composting an easy addition to their recycling routine and they give us some insights as to how!

If it surprises you to learn that your banana can transform into rich soil, this episode is for you!

Highlights

• Dos and Don'ts of starting to compost.
• Will it be smelly, gross, and full of bugs?
• Why are not all things that are labeled compostable actually so?

What YOU Can DO

• See if your municipality has a food scrap pick-up program.
• Or maybe a drop-off program (ask local nurseries or farms too because they would then use the dirt)
• Learn to compost at home! Start here.
• Get your community, school, or local farm to compost with this resource.
• Look for the BPI Certification label to know if items labeled compostable truly are readily compostable.
