Build Your Own Compost Pile
We’ve found uses for old newspapers and plastic bags, but what about the rest of your garbage? Build a compost pile! Compost piles enrich the soil, lessen methane emissions and reduce your community’s carbon footprint. You can donate the result of compost pile to community gardens or local farmers to take the place of chemical fertilizers. Compost piles not only help you eliminate your trash and decrease your carbon footprint, but they are super easy to set up too! Simply pick a spot in your backyard, gather leaves, weeds, table scraps, leftover fruits and vegetables, and any other decomposable waste from the kitchen or yard. Combine it all into a pile, add a little water, and let nature do the rest!
