Composting!
One major benefit is keeping material out of the landfill. Another is providing good cheaper fertilizer for plants. Still having so much to learn, I am not sure our compost pile is as productive as it should be, but we are only 5-6 months into the whole process. Besides basic food scraps and yard clippings, there are so many things you can keep out of the landfills and this article is a good list. It is informative and creative... I have a whole bag of dryer lint to take out there today.
Also, I am pretty sure I am going to cover my compost "bin" with another pallet to see if it keeps the heat in better in order to accelerate the process. Suggestions?

I know you posted this a while ago, but today I found it. and its funny because today I went out to add some stuff to my compost bin (I only started 2 months ago) and I feel like I'm doing it wrong. It seems hard to get the right mix and I have NO idea if I'm doing it right or wrong, but I guess time will tell. Gonna check out the link in a minute. Also I read your post below that with your goals for yourself and I thought, wow, this chick is in my head. anyways. thanks for the link!
