By diverting food scraps from polluting landfills, sequestering carbon, and growing healthier foods, composting, particularly when done at the local level, can have a big impact \u2014 many people just need the tools to start.\r\n\r\nToday, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance is answering that call with the launch of its\u00a0Local Composting Toolkit<\/i><\/a>,<\/i>\u00a0an interactive hub containing over 200 resources that provide a path to action.\r\n\r\nFor those looking to commemorate Earth Day by getting involved, the toolkit is a place to learn about the\u00a0benefits of local composting<\/a>.\u00a0For those ready to start composting themselves, the toolkit contains\u00a0home composting resources,<\/a>\u00a0including guides and best practices. Advocates for a wide range of environmental issues, from zero waste to healthy soils to climate change, will also find a wide range of\u00a0policy tools,<\/a>\u00a0such as sample policies, climate action plans, and model ordinances.\r\n\r\nFor Spanish-speaking communities, the toolkit has a built-in auto-translation feature along with Spanish-language guides and outreach materials.\r\n
