Fertilizer from Garbage! Let’s look at garbage from a new perspective!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much money do we throw away with our “garbage”?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we make use of our garbage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which materials can we recycle and which can we use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is household garbage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the plate to the trash go money and valuable materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have bought a delicious Greek cheese and at the store or supermarket they have wrapped it in a nice paper. We’ve put it in our cart, paid for it at the checkout, brought it home and after putting the cheese in the Tupperware, the paper has turned in our minds into… yucky garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bought, cheese, sausages, pastrami, etc. After we consumed the product, the paper on the packaging also became in our minds… garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bought vegetables from the market or pick them from our garden. We brought them into the house to cook them or make a salad. We cut them up and cleaned them. What was left over we saw in our minds as… yucky garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bought our soda or beer. We enjoyed the contents and then the packaging became in our minds… yucky garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bought the soda or water in the PVC plastic bottle. We drank the contents and then the packaging became… garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that you can return the glass bottles of beer, water, etc. and be reimbursed? Over 0.13 Euro is the profit for each glass bottle! May I remind you that we have paid for it with the purchase price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leftovers (organic, animal and vegetable, residues) have also become garbage! We put it in the garbage bag to go to the rubbish dump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we forget that every time we buy something we have paid for its packaging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we forget that every time we throw away a \u2033garbage\u2033 and don’t use it, we are literally throwing our money in the trash?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We throw it away twice! Once because we have already paid for it and a second time because if we don’t use it, we will have to pay for it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can I do with organic garbage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both vegetable and organic waste can be turned into fertilizer for your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant waste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\u03a0\u03cc\u03c3\u03b1
How much plant material do we throw away in the trash every day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can use organic plant waste<\/strong> to make compost<\/strong>, a valuable fertilizer for our plants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we have a garden, it’s very easy. It’s easy even if we live in the city, by placing a composter on our balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compost is an excellent quality natural fertilizer. By utilizing your garbage to make compost, you win threefold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
