Compost Impacts More Than You Think

Sometimes we need to step back from our day-to-day drudgery to really appreciate the impact of our actions. A new infographic from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) helps us see the big picture of the importance of composting. 

Go ahead, pat yourself on the back and learn how composting your banana peels and dried leaves:

• Enhances soil
• Protect watersheds
• Sequesters carbon
• Creates jobs

And much more! Wow, you really are a super hero.

The above infographic comes from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (www.ilsr.org), a national nonprofit organization working to strengthen local economies, and redirect waste into local recycling, composting, and reuse industries. It is reprinted here with permission.
