Compost

Hey I think the future is looking brighter. More and more people are starting to make compost, and finding meaning and fulfillment in turning their “garbage” into nutritious rich compost. More than half of our “garbage” is biodegradable and can be composted. In Sweden there is a product founded, called Johanna. It's a plastic compost bin. I used to own one in Sweden. It's an amazing product where you don't have the mess and smell from a normal open compost bin. It's easy to maintain and it allows you to compost all your food waste. This means bones, bread, dairy, eggshell, fish, fruit, meat, soup and vegetables can all be used and composted, as well as coffee filters, teabags, household papers, egg cartons, wilted flowers and dead houseplants. Anything biodegradable you normally throw in the trash bin. You can make your own fertilizer instead of buying the expensive petroleum fertilizers. Check out Green Johanna's website: http://www.jorvik.se/sas/2/6/2/4/

Today's Tip: Invest in an compost. I will. Simply add another bin in your kitchen and separate the waste that can be composted from that which cannot.
