EcoNetworking Sustainability – It’s What’s for Lunch

November 1, 2012

Why Recycle Organics? •63% of all material currently going to landfills could be composted.*

•Composting is Nature’s way of recycling. •Yard waste, food waste, and non-recyclable paper can be turned into

a valuable soil amendment. •Recycling organics takes a perceived waste and turns it into

something of value.
