Addressing climate hope, sustainability, food waste, wellbeing the initiative will be a catalyst for a national programme and UK wide champions in composting through worm hotels.
Addressing climate hope, sustainability, food waste, wellbeing the initiative will be a catalyst for a national programme and (in time) something government will take on and support further with. We would like to partner with schools/ community projects/ residents within villages/ towns to act as UK wide 'Soil Web Champions'. Devoted to the Doorstep will use creative mindfulness techniques/ bio diversity education to encourage small scale composting. Our research showed people have MANY barriers to composting which in fact is a very simple and powerful act as part of our daily routine/ agency in Climate Hope. We have had some gentle success with our pilot project encouraging friends/ neighbours to buy into worm hotel systems/try slow compost heaps creating soil & ‘worm tea’ as fertiliser plants as a by-product. We have partnered with our local café who fill buckets up with coffee grounds/ filters/ veg scraps for pet chickens. These are collected by e-bike every Sunday.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Remove barriers to composting via worm hotels, educate individuals and businesses in composting using worm hotels, gently influence communities to produce less waste and share resources.
