How much water we waste in the world
According to the World Resource Institute, inside the 2.3 billion tons of food wasted every year worldwide is 45 trillion gallons of water. This represents a staggering 24 percent of all water used for agriculture. Here are some facts about water waste: Running the tap while brushing your teeth can waste 4 gallons of water.Older toilets can use 3 gallons of clean water with every flush, while new toilets use as little as 1 gallon. About 95 percent of water that enters your home goes down the drain.A garden hose or sprinkler can use almost as much water in an hour as an average family of four uses in the day.

How to compost
There are two types of composting: Cold and hot. Cold composting is as simple as collecting yard waste or taking out the organic materials in your trash (such as fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds and filters, and eggshells) and then corralling them in a pile or bin. For hot composting you need four ingredients: nitrogen, carbon, air, and water. Together, these items feed microorganisms, which speed up the process of decay. What many people don't know is that you can compost without worms. That's right! What happens is that without worms it will only take a little longer. The greatest benefit of composting is the reduction of waste, which can be 50 percent to 90 percent. Fewer plastic bags, less waste to throw and it is best to help the planet in reducing the disposal of microplastics.
