Organic waste is not trash.
We have two types of ”trash” in the world, organic and non-organic, and in Myanmar these are typically mixed and sent to landfill. Clearly, all non-organic materials such as plastics, metals, paper, glass etc should be collected and recycled, but currently there is no clear solution for organic waste. Anything that has come from the soil should be returned to the soil if the equation is going to hold, and bokashi is a good way of making that happen.

The soil story
Everything that once came from the soil should be restored to the soil. Here’s why!
Organic waste
Organic waste is not trash and should not be going to landfill. Why? What happens to it there?
Climate change
What is climate change, and how can the soil help us solve this enormous problem. We have the solution!
Leaf burning
Dry leaves are not trash and don’t need to be burnt. We can use them to make soil instead!
Teaching materials
We are collecting teaching resources for schools, to help students of different ages.
It’s not the soil itself, it’s the soil life that is the most important.
