Our Mission
Founded in 2021, we energize the conversation by empowering locals with nearby organizations to clear the air around urban composting. Only 4% of available food was composted in 2018.
Where to go? What to do? Who to ask? We are here to answer - and teach you ways to fight back against deforestation and food waste along the way!
WHY COMPOST?
BENEFITS OF COMPOSTING
Compost Improves Soil Structure & Functioning = More Crop Growth!
The organic material in compost allows soil to retain higher amounts of water, nutrients & air. This reduces erosion and optimizes the ecosystem for larger yields of more nutritious product - without much extra effort!
With Better Soils, There Is Less Need for Synthetic Fertilizers
Improved soils welcome friendly micro-organisms that ward off pests & diseases for plants, much like probiotics do for us! Nutrients from compost also last longer than man-made counterparts.
Smaller Landfills & Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Diverting kitchen scraps into compost reduces unsightly landfills and their methane gas. Unlike landfills, composting mimics nature’s way of breaking down material by introducing air into the system, while holding onto carbon and eliminating dangerous greenhouse gases.
