id you know that having 1,000 residents in your community actively composting
would divert 600,000 lbs of organic waste from going to local landfills per year? Did you know that one inch of rain falling on a 1,000 sq ft roof harvests up to 600 gallons of rainwater for use on your lawns and gardens without turning on a tap?
In honor of Earth Day and National Recycling Month, two Northwest Florida regions are offering truckload sales for Earth Machine backyard compost bins ($45) and SYSTERN rain barrels ($55). These prices offer more than 50% savings, and supplies are limited. Reduce your garbage by 30%, reduce your use of harmful artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and cut water bills by up to 40%.
