Composting: Turning Food Scraps Into Soil

Bea Johnson from ecomaine is back, this time with an informative presentation that explores the benefits of composting and how you can start composting in Maine.

We’ll discuss why keeping food scraps out of landfills is crucial for reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as practical tips for composting at home — whether you have a backyard, a small outdoor space, or need to use a local composting service. You’ll also learn about the economic benefits of composting, from saving on waste disposal costs to enriching soil for healthier gardens. Whether you're new to composting or looking to refine your process, this session will provide the knowledge and inspiration to make a positive environmental impact.
