How to Make Great Compost (With Very Little Effort)

If your garbage can is like the average American’s, at least 20% of it is filled with food. Worse, that 20% is entirely preventable. Here's a secret: it's insanely easy to make great compost while ALSO diverting food waste from the landfill. Here's how.

You’ve heard the buzz around composting, but you want to be certain composting is right for you *before* you embark on another potentially time-sucking hobby.

Of course you’d love to know how to make great compost, but you’re a newbie + you need guidance.

If your garbage can is like the average American’s, at least 20% of it is filled with food. Worse, that 20% is entirely preventable.

My guest this week is Heather Kauffman. Heather is passionate about composting + claims the practice is *just as easy* as recycling. She argues, too, that a slow-but steady composting approach makes a gigantic difference when seeking to divert food waste from landfills.

On today’s show Heather outlines her step-by-step composting system; she answers your most pressing composting questions, too.

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
