    New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?

    My family has always had a compost pile, yet we never knew how many things we were throwing away that could actually go in there. I created a list that we keep in our kitchen that lets us know what we can and can’t compost, which has helped a lot. Our compost will be used for our garden.
