In the spirit of embracing sustainability and community involvement, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on Sustainable South Hams.

Last month marked the opening of their latest community composting project in Marldon, and the response has been nothing short of inspiring! 

Why is composting so crucial, you ask? Well, composting plays a vital role in reducing waste, enriching soil, and mitigating the harmful effects of landfill disposal. By diverting organic waste from landfills and instead turning it into nutrient-rich compost, we are not only minimizing environmental impact but also nurturing our gardens and green spaces in the process. 

Sustainable South Hams' community composting initiative goes beyond mere waste management; it fosters a sense of collective responsibility and education within the community. Residents are encouraged to actively participate in the scheme, not only by contributing their organic waste but also by learning about the significance of composting in a hands-on, engaging manner. 

Interested in joining the composting movement? Visit Sustainable South Hams' website to learn more about their Community Compost Opportunities and how you can get involved in this fantastic initiative. You can find further information about composting your waste at home here.

Let's applaud Sustainable South Hams for their dedication to sustainability, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one compost pile at a time!
