Finding easy, inexpensive ways to contribute to easing the stress on the planet can be done in many simple ways, and for those who enjoy the surroundings of their own garden can benefit also at the same time.
Composting is a process which can naturally transform waste from both the garden and the kitchen into a nutritional plant food which is very easy to make.
Obviously there is a main environmental benefit to doing this and that is to gradually reduce the amount of
waste which is sent to landfill sites around the country.
Composting at home for just one year can save global warming gases equivalent to all the CO2 your kettle produces annually, and just think how many cups that is for you keen tea and coffee drinkers out there!!
Researched has proved that almost half the kitchen waste which is disposed of each year could have been used to produce compost. The reason why there is a problem with landfills is that due to the build up of waste underground, air cannot get to the organic waste, this in turn allows for the produced of greenhouse gases which are constantly damaging the atmosphere, contributing to the "Greenhouse Effect".
However, if this waste is composted, it dramatically reduces the amount of greenhouse gases produced and also provides a healthy natural fertiliser for the garden.
