Turning Seattle's Food Scraps Into Gardening Gold w/ Cedar Grove Compost



Mrs. Dawson came to Green Team today and shared great information about the Cedar Grove Compost. She showed us the above video which was just wonderful. We learned that food waste in the land fill turns to methane gas. By composting our food scraps we reduce methane gas which is destroying the ozone. Did you know that all food scraps; meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy, etc. can go in the yard waste and food scrap tote? Additionally, by composting instead of using the garbage disposal we are conserving water. Green team members were given a Tips sheet and a compost able bags so that they can start composting today. Special thanks to Mrs. Dawson for being a community contributor and helping us to understand how we can be more sustainable.
