Understand That All Our Actions Are Linked Together

I would like to make people aware of the importance of collective composting in our municipalities. Our governments must accelerate the implementation of organic waste collection in all our cities.

It is already straightforward to manage your own organic matter because there are several domestic systems for city dwellers or people who have land.

The benefits are so significant because they directly impact reducing the volume of waste. From experience, I can say that more than half of my waste is organic. It’s enormous, especially when you know that the whole world produces several hundred kilos of garbage a year.

In addition, the management of organic matter also directly impacts the reduction of greenhouse gases. Our landfills are already overused, and their maximum capacities exceed the expected standards.

The key is to understand the importance of spreading compost in our orchards, our planters, our agricultural soils that contribute to the health of the ground. Our soils are already too often impoverished and damaged by decades of chemical fertilizers and herbicides. Replacing these products with compost solves all our problems.

Finally, it is essential to understand that all our actions are linked together. Composting is a natural way to recycle waste while creating an enriched product. This helps reduce chemical fertilizers and herbicides, preventing us from further polluting our soils and bodies of water.

Our politicians must help us develop a routine to this life-saving cycle in our daily lives. Please participate in the balance of nature.
