Top Reasons Why You Should Never Throw Out Your Eggshells!
When looking for ways to cut down on kitchen waste, there are likely many solutions that come to mind before using eggshells. However, eggshells can be incredibly useful in a number of ways around the home and garden.
The Washington State Recycling Association claims that in 2011 the United States threw more than 36 million tons of food waste into landfills. When these food remains break down, they contribute significantly to the production of methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas that is known to be one of the causes of climate change. Using food scraps previously destined for the trash helps you reduce that waste and saves you money in the long run, leading to a happy planet and a fuller bank account. What kind of food scraps? Think of things like citrus rinds, sourdough starter, and of course, eggshells.
I’m personally allergic to eggs, so I don’t have much to say on this one. My girlfriends uses eggshells on her orchids and swears by them. Who would have thought eggshells are so useful?
