Unlock Black Gold : The Power of Composting

Everything we consume comes from the earth and should ideally return to it in a form that is easy for the planet to re-absorb. However, in today’s age, this circle of life is becoming imperfect, and the forms of our consumption and improper waste disposal make the consumption cycle inefficient. Adopting the practice of home composting can make a big difference in reducing the volume of waste we generate and returning valuable nutrients to the earth’s natural cycle in an easy-to-absorb format. Get practical tips for starting your kitchen compost. Discover the various uses of compost and its positive impact.
