“that increasing atmospheric CO2 levels from .04 percent to .05 percent is enough to raise global temperatures well beyond the international goal set in 2015 of a 1.5° Celsius limit.”
Isn’t it astounding what a sensitive little planet we have here?
We have had a significant composting operation for a number of years, and it is jaw-dropping to see how much our garbage output dropped when we started composting.
One of my most entertaining uses for compost is to revive a unhappy potted plant. give it a few scoops of good compost and watch it wake up and start shouting “what a wonderful world!“
It really is incredible! .01 percentage rise in carbon seems like a change not even worth mentioning, and yet it has monumental effect on the planet!
I'm so impressed to hear about your composting operation! We got composting bins from the city years and years ago and I've been composting ever since, but I've always only dumped it in the outdoor bin to be picked up weekly. I should do it more at home though, especially since I've developed an addiction to houseplants (I can see 30 from where I'm sitting to type this.) Thanks for the inspiration!
Educational and interesting. Inspires me to reinitiate my composting. Thanks!
