Composting
Turning our home organic waste into compost is one of the simplest actions we can take to support sustainability. Composting reduces waste, increases soil fertility, fixes carbon and enhances biodiversity. It also feels good to be a participant in nature’s recycling process. Happily, there are composting bins and wormeries for every size of home and garden, so everyone can get involved. The most surprising and disappointing thing I learned at a recent composting webinar was that most tea bags are not compostable (they contain plastic). Coffee capsules are worse. Surely the food and drinks manufacturers can do better?
