It’s the time of year when we wrap our gifts to the nines. It’s hard to imagine a gift without concealing it in lavish paper and shimmery accents. While ribbons, bows, and festive wrapping paper make for a beautiful gift, the waste they produce is overwhelming. The good news: There are lots of alternatives!

We generate three times as much food waste between Thanksgiving and New Year’s as we do the rest of the year. Working on limiting the food we purchase and cook, eating leftovers, and composting as many scraps as possible can limit waste during the holiday season.

Today is Veteran’s Day and we wanted to give a big thanks to all those that have served in our country’s military.

Fungi are unsung the heroes of composting. They are hard workers, unique contributors, and most of all, a whole lot of fun!

Divert organic material from the landfill and add rich nutrient value during the fall season all in one step.
