Let’s Get Composting!

By Christina Cioci

If you could take a few simple steps to improve the earth, would you? If your answer is “yes” then consider starting the process of composting. Composting is the breakdown of organic material such as food scraps, coffee grounds, leaves, worms, just to name a few. This cycle takes place naturally in the environment when leaves and grass breakdown in the outdoors over time.

People can also recreate the process at home by collecting organic materials in a metal bucket. After the small bucket is filled it can be emptied into a bigger container to allow optimum breakdown. While keeping food scraps and other things in your kitchen may not be your cup of tea, those who have composted before find it easy and sanitary.
