A new composting initiative in Pinecrest, Florida, allows residents to drop off kitchen scraps that will not only help rejuvenate the Everglades ecosystem but also benefit the Miccosukee Tribe's community garden. The Everglades, crucial for its biodiversity and as a water source for millions, face environmental pressures. The partnership aims to address these threats with a $400,000 USDA grant. This collaboration between the village, the Fertile Earth Worm Farm, and the Miccosukee Tribe represents a significant step toward environmental sustainability and cultural preservation in the region.
Soon, when residents of a village in Florida's Miami-Dade County drop off their egg shells, banana peels, and other kitchen scraps for composting, they'll be helping restore the Everglades.
The Everglades are a massive wetland ecosystem crucial for the environment: It's the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, home to many threatened species.
