One of the things we’re doing together for Lent this year is composting! So we invite you to bring your compostables on Sunday morning to church.
What can you compost?
● Fruit and vegetable peels such as potatoes, bananas, and apples are compostable. (Chopping or shredding them will help to speed up the decomposition process.)
● Eggshells are compostable but can take longer than some other items to break down. Crushing them down will help to speed up the process.
● Coffee grounds and tea leaves
(tea bags should be emptied and only tea leaves used for compost)
○ Avoid citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes. These can be acidic and can kill off microorganisms that help decomposition. You should also avoid tomatoes and pickled vegetables for the same reasons.
○ No meat, fish, or grease should be included
We have plenty of browns (leaves, paper, etc.)
