| Making and using compost
has numerous far-reaching benefits, which I truly believe can fix or at
least mitigate most of the ecological problems facing us today.
Compost:
o prevents the loss of soil
nutrients
o reduces the strain on
landfills
o reduces the cost of solid
waste management
o reduces pollution
o reduces erosion
o reduces pesticide use
o improves the health of
the soil
o improves the health of
the plants
o improves the health of
the animals that eat the plants
o improves the lives of
people who live off the soil
Perhaps most important of all, making and using compost develops a mind set that puts the good of the world above convenience. Composters practice the three R's - reduce, re-use and recycle, and they fight an active War on Waste.
