Every day, we throw away garbage that releases harmful toxins into the air, land, and water. One way you can prevent harmful pollutants is by composting. Composting is the process by which organic materials, such as fruit, vegetables, eggshells, tea, and many other foods, are broken down, recycled, and used as a fertilizer. As a fertilizer, compost provides rich nutrients to the soil. It is very beneficial to your gardens, as it nourishes your plants and flowers and helps them bloom more frequently.

Composting helps the environment because it reduces the amount of waste in landfills, reduces pollution, and prevents soil erosion. Take a stand, and help make the planet we live on a healthier place.
