You've heard of touching grass but have you ever tried making soil? This simple leaf tower, made from a discarded bamboo screen holds all the leaves and grass clippings from my property each week. Nature keeps reclaiming everything I put in and it has yet to overflow.

Making soil (instead of garbage) is one of the most impactful things we can do. Join a soil site (or start one) and use MakeSoil to track your impact. Together we can show that individual actions matter at a global scale.

There's no need to get lost in the sustainability matrix. Food waste doesn't belong in the trash, not in this reality or any others.
