Mr. Speaker, May 2 to 8 is International Composting Awareness Week. The theme is “It's your turn...Compost”, with the emphasis on the value of compost in a number of sectors of our society.
According to the last study of the Composting Council of Canada, over 1,650,000 tonnes of organic matter have been composted, representing a 23.5% increase in the last two years.
The importance of compost in improving soil quality and the need for composting are becoming increasingly evident. The end product is used for gardening, landscaping and various agricultural and horticultural applications.
Composting is a social commitment to our environment, offering a means to reduce the production of waste while putting organic matter to productive use.
It's your turn...Compost.
