ILSR’s Composting for Community research and resources contributed to a first-of-its-kind, interactive guide on composting for oceanic health.
When it comes to protecting our oceans and coastlines, there’s a powerful tool at our disposal that’s often overlooked: composting. A proven strategy to cut food loss, enhance soils and watersheds, support local food production, and protect the climate, many of the threats facing our oceans today can be addressed by the simple act of turning food scraps into black gold. Particularly when done at a distributed and local scale, composting also serves as a powerful way to address community prosperity and equity issues.
Michelle Carnevale, President at 11th Hour RacingComposting benefits the planet in many ways – including improving the health of our ocean for generations to come.
Published with ILSR, 11th Hour Racing and Ocean Hour Farm recently launched The Ocean Lovers Guide to Compost, a guide created to help people understand why composting is such a powerful tool for the planet and our ocean. The guide also offers practical tips and strategies for anyone interested in starting their own composting journey.
The Ocean Lovers Guide to Compost shows that you don’t have to change your whole life to live sustainably. Composting is one of the simplest actions that anyone can adopt to help mitigate the effects of climate change.
