Reduce your food waste
Instead of throwing out vegetable scraps, save them in a ziplock in the freezer and boil them down into a broth!
Composting
Most of us practice recycling in our homes..but what about composting?? Did you know that on average, America throws away over 38 million tons of food a year!? We can reduce this number significantly by composting. This not only reduces the number of trash bags in landfills, but you can use it as fertilizer or a soil amendment! Composting is also an awesome way to reduce your trash output!
There is as yet no municipal composting, other than the composted leaves. You can compost your food waste by setting up a compost pile in your yard and using the finished compost to fertilize your garden.
If you are interested in having municipal compost you should talk to your city council and county board representatives.
