The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just announced its new report about the environmental value of applying compost for a variety of purposes – from agriculture and landscaping to stormwater management and contaminated site remediation. Increasing food waste composting will present expanded opportunities for cities and states, along with businesses and institutions, to increase their use of compost. The report can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/g9BHmmtS The EPA also posted new information on our website about compost: https://lnkd.in/gpiWF9rW
I get a 404 error. Is it just me?
This report from the EPA highlights how composting can significantly benefit both the environment and local communities. By applying compost in agriculture, landscaping, and storm water management, we can improve soil health, reduce landfill waste, and enhance water retention. Solutions like Feed Earth Now - Terreplenish align perfectly with these goals, offering sustainable ways to enrich soil and support regenerative agriculture. Expanding compost use is a win-win for businesses, institutions, and the planet. ?? #Composting #Sustainability #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAgriculture Mark Gaalswyk Bill Bliler Cathy Scratch
What an amazing revelation-compost. You may not get a 404 error, but you will get pablum. Are there enough compost posts? This is Government Waste. Let's get serious. We need to know how to control wildfires, floods, winds, and the atmosphere. How about some tips? If I pour Draino in my drains, will it help water pollution? Why is merthiolate still for sale at CVS?
Great article....plus, having a robust infrastructure to help communities gather their compost is equally important too. Check out our product that does just that: https://metrostor.us/products/access-controlled-cart-recycling-housings/

1 个月Nice! What could be added to the upper left corner of the chart is the key to achieving the benefits: generating awareness, sparking interest, and providing the processes and tools necessary to increase the availability of organic materials from the outset. While the rest of the chart effectively highlights many positive elements and valuable strategies, it’s equally important to ensure these foundational steps are included. Additionally, starting education early with the next generation will help equip them with the values and knowledge to sustain and expand these efforts over time. ??
