Happy World Vegeterian Day! ?? We know that many people enjoy a good steak every now and again, but here's some facts on what a veggie diet can do for our environment: ?Directly reduce methane emissions associated with livestock digestion. ?Conserve land and water resources used for livestock production. ?Decrease the demand for energy-intensive agricultural practices. And when food scraps from a vegeterian diet are composted it can reduce methane emissions by up to 50% compared to landfilling ?. This is because landfills are anaerobic environments that promote the decomposition of organic matter and the release of methane. Our composters speed up composting without producing the methane gases, giving your food waste meaning after just 24 hours! #worldvegeterianday #methane #sustainability

October brings with it National Recycle Week! ?? Think about it: every item we recycle or compost is a small victory against waste ??. A plastic bottle, a cardboard box, a food scrap – they all have the potential to be transformed into something new and valuable. Recycling is like giving items a second chance at life. When we recycle, we're preventing materials from ending up in landfills, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose. Instead, these materials are processed and turned into new products, reducing the need for raw resources ??. Composting is another essential tool in our fight against waste ??. Food scraps, garden waste, and other organic materials can be transformed into nutrient-rich compost. This compost can then be used to fertilise gardens, lawns, and farms, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers. Together, we can make a difference for our planet and future generations. #recycleweek #compost #sustainable
