Essentially, anything that can be reused by the environment or that can be reused in the natural setting can be composted. The analysis behind composting is that items that would be tossed into a landfill or garbage waste can actually be recycled and enhance the environment. This reduces landfill waste and actually gives life to microorganisms, who feed off of the compost and regenerate energy based off of it. Composted items are placed in a compost bin and what is composted goes back into the natural soil and not in a landfill. Composting thus helps alleviate the problem of pollution and waste, and helps microorganisms live while enhancing the local environment. The more people compost, the thinking goes, the greater the environment is helped.
Composting consists of collecting items that can be crushed and disseminated back into the earth. Items that can be composted are kitchen/ food waste (many leftovers that would be thrown out can actually be composted), grass clippings, hay, weeds, and wood clippings. The common link between all of these is that they are natural and of the earth, containing nutrients that enrich soil, creating a healthy micro- environment for organisms that make their home in the soil. Presumably, these items can be composted (placed in a bin) because of their non- toxin or non- chemically added state, which means being of natural condition, they can be recycled in furthering natural conditions.
