Compost is critical to lowering our collective carbon footprint. Not only does it store carbon-rich material in the ground, but it also actively promotes carbon sequestration. Ok, we got all science-y there, but the idea is, composting promotes the growth of beneficial microbes that plants use to absorb key nutrients. To feed these microbes, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into carbohydrates, which are released through their roots into the soil. This process creates humus (no relation) – a nutrient-dense mixture that helps make soil more fertile and hold more carbon — keeping it out of the atmosphere.
