b'
Isn\\u2019t it wonderful how our Earth can take in our food waste and grow new life and so much beauty? When we treat our Earth with care it provides us with an abundance of wonderful things.
Sadly, these days humans are getting into some pretty awful habits of trampling all over our planet and completely neglecting the natural flow of its ecosystems.\\xa0
In this episode, we are so excited to welcome back Colleen Patrick-Goudreau to discuss composting: a beautiful way of making sure our food waste doesn\'t go to waste!
From turning food scraps into a homemade fertilizer, to identifying materials that would benefit our compost, we cover the relevance of composting in its most interesting form.
And what about worm composting? Is that even vegan? We\'ll answer that and more.
We love maximizing food as vegans, so if you\\u2019re ready to learn more about how you can do that, dive in with us!
