Compost bin on our recycled glass counter (Bag made out of compostable cornstarch!) |
To
celebrate Earth Day, we thought we would share one of the many ways we try to
minimize our ecological footprint and help the environment.
Since
approximately 2006, Beelineweb.com, has been composting everything from coffee
grounds to fruit peels/cores/seeds to leftover vegetables, etc. In fact, when we did the math, we realized
that we have composted almost 3500 gallons! (That means we’ve saved almost 3500
gallons of garbage!) Our entire office
goes through less than one small kitchen bag of garbage a week, but produces at
least 10 gallons of compost a week!
In addition
to our in-office compost program, we encourage staff to compost at home, and
bring
it in to add to our compost. (For those who don’t have compost piles at home or
perhaps live in an apartment). We have a freezer dedicated to compost that any
employees can add to, which gets emptied sometimes multiple times a week.
Compost - Finished Product! |
Thanks to
everyone here for participating and giving back to our environment!
