The Triple Bottom Line
-
People
Over 60 percent of what we put in our landfills is organic waste, such as food scraps, yard trimmings, and paper, much of which could be recycled by composting.
-
Planet
Organic waste in landfills generates, methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By composting wasted food and other organics, methane emissions are significantly reduced.
-
Profit
By using compost, farmers and gardeners spend less money on expensive fertilizers and pesticides, water, and irrigation.
“The ground’s generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty!
Try to be more like the ground.”
