All About Composting
What
What
Composting by humans is as old as agriculture. The reactions are as simple as they are dynamic: when the balance of moisture, air, and heat are right, soil microbes consume organic material. The composting process converts organic material into stable soil carbon, while retaining water and nutrients from the original organic materials.
Why
Why
Diverting and composting go hand-in-hand. Diverting excess food from landfills is good for the environment, reducing methane emissions. Compost can replenish nutrients in soil, helping to boost and sustain food production. It can also help pull carbon out of the atmosphere, combating the emission of greenhouse gases, and replace polluting chemical fertilizers, protecting public health.
Who
Who
Everybody can divert and compost with Moonshot: residents, offices, and restaurants. We work hard to demystify the process, so you know exactly what to separate, and we handle the collecting and consolidating.
Where
Where
We provide packages to work with your needs and budget. We can come directly to you at your home, office, or restaurant, and residents can unlock savings by utilizing our convenient drop-off locations. We ensure that all the organic materials we collect are taken to composting facilities or community gardens in the immediate Houston area.
When
When
It is estimated up to 40% of all food produced for human consumption in the U.S. ends up in the trash and that this waste makes up approximately 20% of our landfills. The time has passed for Houston to be a global leader in food waste diversion, but every day is an opportunity for us to lean into new behaviors and to create something restorative from our under-utilized organic waste.
How
How
We provide the supplies. We come to your home or community to collect. We report your diverted organics to you. Just follow the links to home, office, and restaurant, we will explain the details.
