You could say they’re breaking new ground. From Mon., Jan. 24-Thurs., Jan. 27, the US Composting Council will host the largest gathering of compost professionals in the country right here in Austin.

Not sure why composting is so important? Glad you asked — here are 3 cool things composting does for our planet:

  • Reduces methane emissions in landfills
  • Pulls CO2 out of the atmosphere
  • Creates nutrient-rich soil for farms + gardens
