How to make homemade compost:
Suitable space: You need an airy, semi-shaded area such as a patio, garden, rooftop, or apartment terrace.
Composter: You can buy one at gardening stores or make your own using plastic buckets with holes at the bottom for drainage.
Organic material: Use raw kitchen waste (chopped vegetables, fruits, coffee grounds, etc.). Avoid meat, dairy, fats, excessive citrus, onions, and garlic.
Dry material: Add leaves, pruning remains, wood shavings, cardboard, and paper without ink. Ensure they are free of fungi or pests.
Nutritional tip: Eggshells are excellent for adding calcium to compost.
Things you can and can't compost

Hello everyone,
Today, we want to talk about something that affects all of us: waste. Every day, we throw away food scraps, leaves, and paper, without realizing that these things don’t have to end up in the landfill. They can become something amazing, compost.
Composting is a simple and powerful way to help the environment. When we compost, we recycle organic waste into healthy soil. This soil can be used in gardens, parks, and farms. It helps plants grow stronger and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
But composting doesn’t just help plantsit helps our planet. When organic waste goes to landfills, it releases methane, a gas that causes climate change. By composting, we reduce pollution and protect our future.
As young people, we can be part of the solution. We can start small at home, at school, or in our community. All we need is a compost bin and the motivation to change our habits.
Let’s work together to make composting something normal and even exciting. Let’s show that small actions can lead to big results. When we compost, we’re not just throwing things away, we’re giving life back to the earth.
Thank you!
