Compost Revolution

Food waste has become a growing problem across the United States. Collectively we waste about one third of the food that is produced for human consumption. When this food is dumped into landfills and compacted with other trash it produces methane- one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases. The solution to this problem is to compost organic waste, though many city-dwellers view composting as something only country folk do. Compost Revolution is a web-based organization whose goal is to educate Philadelphians and other cities on the growing food waste problem, to offer suggestions to avoid wasting food, and to offer tips and tutorials on small and large scale composting using both indoor and outdoor compost methods.

Pretty sure chicken legs and burgers don’t compost. Or styrofoam containers. Will have to double-check, but maybe in French ‘compost’ means ‘everything except organic materials that can be composted.’

Actually you can compost meats and such depending on the type of composter you have.

Join me as I build a worm composter from a medium sized trash bin. This composter has a built in drain for removing tea, ventilation for allowing the compost to breathe, and protection from pests like flies.

I should have my worms within a week, so I’ll keep you up to date with how it works out
