Did you know that up to half the waste thrown out by Australian households is organic material? Or that the methane produced by this matter rotting in landfill is responsible for 5% of our greenhouse gas emissions? More councils around the country are starting to accept this waste through regular curbside collections diverting it from landfill, but for those that don’t we can still help at home and get some rewards for our efforts!
Come join the Biome team for their new workshop – Guide to Home Composting – hosted by Jess and Nat, the duo behind the Miami community compost hub, Seed the Ground.
