Composting That Works: From Kitchen Scraps to Soil

Use a small, lidded container lined with paper to collect scraps daily. Empty it into an outdoor pile or city bin. What’s your caddy hack—freezer storage, newspaper liners, or a charcoal lid? Share your setup and inspire a neighbor to start composting.

Smart Tools and Data for Greener Waste Decisions

Download your city’s recycling guide and a scanner app that identifies materials. Create a shared family note with tricky items and correct destinations. Drop your favorite app recommendations, and we’ll compile a reader-vetted toolkit for everyone to use.

Place matching bins together with clear, image-based labels at eye level. Remove lone trash cans under desks to prevent contamination. What signage gets attention at your workplace or school? Upload a tip and we’ll compile a best-practice kit for organizers.

Community Action, Policy, and Everyday Nudges

Support curbside composting, deposit-return systems, and clear labeling standards. Even letters to local councils move programs forward. Share which policy your community needs most, and we’ll spotlight examples from cities that made it happen, step by step.
