GET COMPOSTING! Composting is the transformation of organic material (plant matter) through decomposition into a soil-like material called compost. Invertebrates (insects and earthworms), and microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) help transform the material into compost. Composting is a natural form of recycling, which continually occurs in nature. Studies have shown that home composting can divert an average of 700 lbs. of material per household per year from the waste stream!
