Why do we actually compost?

Why do we really compost? I learned so much about why #FoodScrapsArentGarbage while producing this video with @MetroVancouverBC.
Also, did you know that a lot of plastics marketed as "compostable'' or “biodegradable” don’t go in the green bin? For example, the “biodegradable" plastic liners sold for compost bins often don't actually break down enough in Metro Vancouver's composting facilities! To play it safe, it's best to just line your green bin with paper bags or newsprint.

cities need to bring green bins to apartments!!! and condos sometimes (!) looking at you Ottawa!

[@UrbanistBlooms]

In parts of Vancouver, like Delta, apartments do have green bins, but single-family homes sometimes don't.

Black soldier fly larvae are even better, turns organic waste into protein to feed animals. The natural food for chickens. As well as creating good compost.

your video quality is so fantastic

Will this be a full length video? Or is this one from the past that I am unfamiliar with?

[@Danpungip]

this is just a short

It would be so nice if those Glad compostable bags were not banned, though. Paper bags are never the right size for Vancouver bins, and newspapers require a lot of cleanup.

I conpost to feed my garden next year.

30% compostable might be low. We backyard compost (so no meat, dairy, or cooked food) and even that feels huge.

Recycling is a bit hit or miss tbh. Like you can technically recycle a lot of stuff but it doesn't really make sense from a cost or environmental process. Mostly because recycling isn't some free process. Easy stuff like aluminum cans sure. But difficult and expensive like paper and glass I don't think so.

compost is free recycling thou. You just bury your trash and microorganisms break it down to good nutritious soil in a year or so.

Anyone else think he was going to take a bite?

[@mitchjohnson4714]

Because we hate seagulls.

This April's fool joke is great
