It's not only for people who garden! I just learned that it also allows food waste to decompose properly without releasing a bunch of methane into the atmosphere. There are lots of compost pickup services too (Bootstrap Compost covers the Boston area and RI), some of which even trade it for fresh soil for your own garden or donate it to school programs!

๐Incredibly rewarding to give back to the Earth. If you are lucky enough to have a backyard, you likely find an easy compost system that works for you. Hopefully your big city has one too.
A lot of information about compost is very focused on efficiency. But really all you need to do is have a pile of fruit & vegetable trash (no dairy no meat) that you mix half and half with dry materials (compostable carry out, recycled brown paper bags, grass or leaf litter, etc.). We use little home compostable trash bags to discourage non-insect animals from partaking. Stir and then water the pile once in a while and watch your yard (and surrounding yards) come back to life.

1. Throw veg scraps in blender
2. Add water and make a scrap smoothie
3. Pour it on the ground
I started doing this when I lived in an apartment a few years ago and now itโs part of my #vanlife. Idk if this even counts as โrealโ compost but itโs better than throwing food in the trash!

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones โบ๏ธ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
