I live in a Manhattan apartment, and it truly doesn’t matter how large your space is - anyone can collect their food scraps and help create compost. If you live in NYC and want to find a food scrap drop-off site near you, check this out: https://www.grownyc.org/compost

I’ve done a ton of research on some of the best ways to get started as a beginner, and I am excited to show you my progress on this new environmentally friendly habit. I am going to show you how simple it is to start a composting “bin” of your own no matter the size of your place! No large backyard needed!

As you’ve seen on my channel, I’ve been working on implementing small changes to help move towards a more sustainable lifestyle and this has been a great way to keep up with that. And the best part, ANYONE who’s interested in sustainable living or low-waste living can do this, too!

So here’s the deal. Whenever you throw away organic materials, it goes off into a landfill. The decomposition process within the landfill leads to methane emissions in the air - methane is a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change…no thank you! You can help cut down the amount of waste in these landfills by composting your organic material.

There are various ways to compost...the two I’ve learned most about are backyard composting or commercial composting. Backyard composting keeps everything right in your backyard where you can actually oversee the entire composting process and then use your compost for personal reasons like gardening! Through commercial composting, you’re collecting your food scraps and materials at home, and then dropping them off at a third party site that will bring them to a commercial composting facility! Since I live in New York City space is a little limited, commercial composting is the route for me. (I hope to start a backyard composting bin in my future!)
