Let’s be real — most of us don’t think twice before tossing veggie peels or leftover food into the bin. But what if I told you that those scraps could actually help the planet?

Composting is one of the easiest ways to give back to nature without leaving your house. It’s not fancy or complicated. You don’t need a farm or a huge garden. Just a small bin, a little patience, and a mix of kitchen waste and dry stuff like newspaper or dried leaves.

At my place, we started composting in an old bucket. It sits quietly in the corner of our balcony, doing its thing. Every few days, we add peels, tea leaves, and eggshells. It doesn’t smell  and over time, it turns into this rich, earthy compost that our plants absolutely love.
