One easy way that my family and I make our daily routines more sustainable is by composting. Composting helps to make nutrient rich soil while reducing landfill waste. It’s wonderful for the environment, and it’s super easy! What I like to do is keep a bowl in the kitchen to put leftover meal scraps or vegetable stems into, then when that gets full, dump it into a large bucket in the garage. Once that bucket gets full, I can use the compost in potted plant soil, or just toss it in the woods to help fertilize other soil. Composting is a great, easy way to live sustainably and benefit the environment. – Berit Doublestein (“nature” by barnyz is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
