Home Composting-benefits for Garden and Globe

Vegetable scraps often end up in your trash, but you can take those scraps and turn them into nutrient rich soil for your landscaping. Not everything you eat is appropriate for composting, but the majority of your vegetable scraps make wonderful compost. Composting is really easy. Keep a bucket in your kitchen for certain food scraps while you are preparing your meals. At the end of the day, empty the contents of that bucket into your compost pile or bin. Heat from the sun, bacteria and activity from insects break down the food scraps into rich soil over time. As you add new ingredients to your compost, stir it up to help aid the process. Oxygen is important in the growth of bacteria.
 
When you mow your lawn, gather up the grass clippings and add them to your compost pile or bin. The same is true of leaves. These make great compost. If you are comfortable with worms, smaller red worms can help the composting process. You should feed them daily by placing new scraps  on top, but they’ll do the work of breaking the material down. It’s a fun project, especially for children.

Carbon Footprint-You don?t want to leave behind

Carbon footprints are the negative effect that we and our practices have on planet earth and today, because of the ISO 14001, we can reduce the environmental footprints and improve the environment sustainability. We as human beings share a responsibility towards each other to make sure that the planet that we leave behind is healthy, green and supports life.

Carbon Footprints
The term originates from the discussion on ecological footprints, so carbon footprints are a subset of ecological footprints.
