Today is Earth Day. This is an annual event that marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. It offers an opportunity to reflect on how we can reduce our impact on the environment through changes in our behaviour – from what we buy, how much we use, what we can reuse or repurpose and how we reduce and dispose of waste.
One of the easiest ways to reduce your environmental impact at home and decrease what you send to landfill is to compost your organic waste – the cuttings and peelings from your kitchen as well as garden materials like lawn cuttings and dry autumn leaves.
Our YOLO Compost Tumbler offers convenient composting and allows you to easily and efficiently compost your organic waste in way that is odour-free and pest-proof. Your plants will benefit from nutrient-rich compost throughout the year.
Adopting these FIVE EASY EARTH DAY RESOLUTIONS will make a big difference to your environmental impact over the next 12 months:
- Composting reduces what you send to landfill.
- Reduce your edible food waste (buy less, buy smart).
- Go for reusable products instead of single-use (see the LastObject, SUPA and Restraw products on our website).
- Take your own shopping bags to get groceries.
- Share ideas with friends, family and household members so that they can reduce their impact too.
