Answer:
1) Reduces Waste Sent to our Dump Sites – Up to 30% of our daily household waste is organic.
2) Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions – Organics buried in a dump site break down very slowly and without the presence of oxygen. As a result, methane gas (a greenhouse gas) is produced.
3) Reduces Pollution – When organics break down without the presence of oxygen, such as in a dump site, a toxic liquid known as leachate (the liquid that runs from a dump) is produced. Leachate can pollute our soil and water sources.
4) Reduces the Need for Chemical Fertilizers and Pesticides – Finished vermicompost is natural fertilizer that returns valuable nutrients back into the soil, promoting the growth of healthy plants.
