Consider a Valentine for Creation that will last long after the flowers have died, the candy has been eaten and the cards discarded or stuck in a scrapbook. Listen to this short YouTube explanation of composting and learn how your food scraps can become nutrients enriching the soil of your garden. See more on the Sustainable Saratoga website: Zero Waste – Sustainable Saratoga; scroll down to Backyard Composting Projects and click. And if having your own composter is not for you or you don’t have a garden, your food scraps can still become rich fertilizer for gardens in the area. Follow this link to Zero Waste Capital District to learn where you can do a simple “drop off” of your food scraps.
