Brolly Fruit Revisited
To help heal the planet, people can compost, compost and compost some more! People can use their vegetable and fruit peelings along with leaves and grass clippings to improve the soil. Plants 'help to regulate the temperature by using energy, reflecting solar energy and providing shade', (see onlinesoil.co.uk for further information).
I recently used much of the contents from our compost bin to spread around the plant roots before the 40 degree celsius temperature arrived in the UK in July 2022. This has made me increasingly aware that more can be done on a wider level.
In particular all open mining projects across the world must include backfilling areas dug up!
The staff working in these areas eat and drink right? Therefore it would make sense that they compost what they use, (from onsite staff to all areas of office administration, management and even shareholders). They can then be responsible for replanting what they open up. Perhaps even have inter-company competitions to backfill and recreate lovely gardens, orchards, vegetable plots etc for the locals whose land they have disrupted.
