Make One Change Nov 2019: Compost!

Compost! Such an easy thing to integrate in to your lifestyle and such a profound impact on the environment as a result! Your challenge this month was to start composting, in whatever shape or form you can manage. We had options for apartments, worm farms, pet waste, and backyards!

November Change… Start composting! Food waste is a major source of greenhouse gases, mostly in the form of methane, a pollutant at least 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Composting is a simple solution! It also goes a long way towards increasing the nutrition of your soil!

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU COMPOSTING WOULD SLOW CLIMATE CHANGE? Would you do it? Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane is released from food and other organic matter breaking down in landfill (without oxygen). Composting is something you can do now, today, to help contribute to positive change.

Composting pet waste! #Repost @goinggreensolutions • • • • • ✨NEW!✨ EnsoPet – Pet waste composting kit! Rather than throwing your pet waste in the bin, this home composting system is placed into your garden and using the EnsoPet powder sprinkled on top of the waste each time, the beneficial micro-organisms will start to hygienically and quickly break down the waste whilst also eliminating smell and helping to remediate any pathogens found in the waste. Such a fantastic idea!!
