Composting is all about letting natural materials return to the earth to be used again, instead of sealing them off in a landfill. It's the ultimate recycling program!
You can compost any time you have leftover organic materials, from dirty paper plates to potato peelings. In fact, here's a list of 163 unexpected things that can be added to your compost pile, including unpaid bills, freezer burned fruit, and the Sunday comics.
Composting can be done at home, at school, and even at work. All you need are a few supplies, a little bit of know-how, and an interest in saving money and natural resources. Try these "getting started" guides from Reduce.org and the Natural Resource Conservation Service, then recruit your family and friends to help out!
Garbage pickup rates are rising in many areas, so composting your food, lawn and garden waste keeps these valuable materials out of your trash bin and puts them back into use.
Are you ready to get started? Share your photos of the process and post the most unusual item you've found to compost.

The composting video is great! Although the scene where they composted the baby in the purple onezee was kind of sad :)
