Composting is great way to recycle. It decreases the amount of organic waste in landfills, and replenishes the soil with natural fertilizer. It is amazing how much energy is put into the growing, and distribution of food, only to throw away the unwanted but reusable parts. All over the world, fruits and vegetables are grown, harvested, and redistributed. Think about how much energy is put into seeding, watering, and maintaining crop fields. Then after harvesting, think about the amount of energy put into packing, shipping, and retailing. Once that fruit or vegetable actually makes it to your plate, an immense amount of energy as been put into it. Then after eating the edible parts, we simply dispose half of the plants nutrients.
It seems like a silly waste.
