Did you know that an American family of 4 wastes 1,160 lbs (USDA average) of food per year? We are unfortunately the most wasteful during the holidays. This year we want to encourage you to be more thoughtful with what you send to the landfill. Separate your food scraps and compost them yourself, feed them to your livestock, or have Thomas at Beech Spring Compost compost them! I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the best about eating leftovers, but I have an army of worms to feed my leftovers to. It's easy to throw everything in the trash can, but if you take the effort to separate food waste, you can make a difference by giving food scraps a second life! #Foodwaste #gardening #compost #vermicast #begreen #reducewaste #holidays
