Benefits of composting

Composting gives you healthier plants:

Compost soil is rich in nutrients and will help your plants grow a lot bigger and better!

Composting saves you money:

Not only does composting save money on purchasing more soil, it also cuts down on trash removal costs.

Composting is convenient and practical:

You don’t have to worry about such inconveniences like buying trash bags or bringing the trash out. Just put it straight in the compost bin!

Zero Waste Kit

Creating a zero waste kit is super easy, and is a great way to start reducing your carbon footprint in your every day routine.

Think about all the things you buy regularly. A cup of coffee before work? A bottle of water with your lunch? Below is a list of items that you can use to reduce the amount of plastic you use on a daily basis.

Bamboo cutlery

Completely plastic free, biodegradable, and made from responsibly sourced renewable bamboo.

Travel mug

Single use coffee cups are disposed of at a rate of 22000 per hour in Ireland alone. A reusable travel mug not only saves you money with discounts in most coffeehouses, but saves the environment, one coffee at a time.

Travel bottle

Switching to a resuable water bottle decreases oil used, greenhouse gases emitted, and bottles thrown away, reducing pollution threefold.

Glass or stainless steel straws

One person switching to glass or steel straws could reduce up to 600 plastic staws a year being disposed of in our landfills.

Reusable cloth bag

One million plastic bags per minute are being disposed of and damaging our environment. As people are switching to paper bags, larger quantities of wood is being used. Cloth bags are durable and are made from renewable natural fibers.

“Many small acts make a phenomenal difference.”
