Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Compost

Reducing, reusing, recycling and composting saves energy, landfill space, and natural resources. These measures also keep our air cleaner because they help reduce pollution, when compared to manufacturing with raw, virgin materials. Compost when possible. Each person creates nearly 100 lbs. of food waste a year.

And if you don't produce enough waste for a reasonable sized compost heap just bury all your vegetable scraps, (not meat, fat, fish,etc., which would attract vermin), in shallow trenches in the garden. Earthworms and soil flora will break it all down so your plants can use it - free fertilizer!
