Are wormeries the answer?
On August 4th, 2007 gogreen says:
I have just discovered a fabulous wormery that can sit outside your back door in the smallest of spaces. If you want to compost your veggie peelings, animal hair or even dust from the vacuum cleaner, these wormeries will eat them into compost for you! There is virtually no smell and the waste doesnt have to go to land-fill sites. A win-win situation?!
Also consider your carbon footprint!
When buying your fruit and veg it is also important to try to buy local produce which is in season, rather than buy food that has been flown in from hundreds of miles away. Otherwise although you will be buying organic fruit and veg, you will be increasing your carbon footprint in the process.
