Join us for a countdown to Earth Day with season 2 of Earth Chats. We’re releasing an episode every weekday through April 22nd, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

In this episode: If it came from nature, it returns to nature. Getting kids involved. Getting worms involved. Smashing pumpkins. The mysteries of Wet/Dry & Brown/Green explained. Which bin should you use? Kay “Macgyvers” a garbage can into a compost bin. FAQ’s: (Does it smell? Attract critters?)

Countless reasons to do it. Here’s a few: 
It’s easy. 
It saves money. 
It reduces your waste. 
It reduces methane gas emissions from landfills.
It’s good for your soil.
And so much more.
