🌱 🍽️ Here are some great reasons to compost. Did you know the City of Tampa offers composting classes that includes getting one of the nifty composting bins I have for free? www.tampa.gov/solid-waste/...

Why compost? 1. To reduce waste.

>50% of municipal garbage is compostable.

You can compost: food scraps, yard trimmings, paper, wood waste, & more!

2. To enhance your soil

Compost: increases soil fertility and suppresses plant disease, improves soil structure, increases microbial activity and water retention capacity.

3. To grow your community

Community composting gets people to engage with each other and how their food is grown.

Making compost creates 4x more jobs (per ton) than landfills and incinerators.

4. To protect the climate

Food scraps in landfills & incinerators generate pollutants like methane, but food scraps converted into compost actually sequester carbon.
