Composting cuts cost and carbon

THE Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 436,000 tonnes of organic matter ends up in landfill in Ireland every year, enough to cover Croke Park 12 times knee deep in waste.

Composting cuts cost and carbon

With the growing season now well under way, environmentally-friendly compost, not pillaged from priceless bogland, is at a premium. If you have any sort of garden or plantings why not get into the soul-smug habit of composting some, if not all of your organic left-overs? Even where you don’t have the facilities to make compost your food scraps don’t have to go to waste. Sign up with a collection firm that offers ‘brown bin’ recycling to reduce your carbon footprint and aid the production of bio-gas.
