Composting Curbs Environmental Waste Composting is a way to turn dead leaves, plants, small twigs, and leftover food scraps into rich fertilizing dirt, instead of dumping it into your garbage and creating waste in our nation’s landfills. That’s important, when you consider the fact that 40% of our nation’s landfill content comes from raw food waste.

Check out my free book offer at the end of this article! "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah ... someone's in the kitchen I know, oh … oh ... oh." The lyrics of this once popular southern hill song are ringing in my ears today. But they seem instead to be saying: "Shaman in the kitchen with 'dinnah'."
