Solana Center to present program on compost bins

FALLBROOK – Composting experts from the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation will present at a program for a Zoom meeting Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 6:30 p.m. "Basic Backyard Composting" is co-hosted by the Fallbrook Climate Action Team.

They will discuss: composting and why it is so important; what tools and materials are needed; which items are compostable and which are not and harvesting and using compost.

Reducing waste is an important component of reducing greenhouse gasses in San Diego County. Composting is eco-friendly and saves you money. Yard trimmings and food scraps, taken together, make up a large portion of commercial and residential discarded resources.

Composting is also one of the most economical and effective methods of recycling these organic materials, and it prevents organic waste from releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in the landfill. Additionally, businesses can save significantly on trash hauling fees by composting instead of throwing food waste away.

FCAT presents monthly presentations about climate change, usually on the last Tuesday of the month on ZOOM, although December will be dark. To receive the ZOOM link, sign up for the group's e-blast on http://fallbrookclimateactionteam.org.
