1. What is composting and why is it important?

Composting is the process of breaking down organic materials, like food scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil. It reduces waste sent to landfills, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and enriches soil for healthier plants and ecosystems.

2. How can I start composting at home?

To start composting at home:

• Choose a composting method (e.g., backyard, indoor bin, or vermicomposting).

• Collect compostable materials like fruit peels, coffee grounds, and yard trimmings.

• Maintain a balance of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials.

• Turn the pile regularly to aerate it.
