关于堆肥革命
堆肥革命能让澳大利亚人轻松在家将食物残渣变成肥沃土壤和液体肥料并且减少送去填埋的垃圾量。因为普通澳洲家庭扔的垃圾约一半都是可用于堆肥的有机物质，所以使用家庭堆肥系统能显著地减少我们送去填埋的垃圾量。它也能减小我们对气候变化的影响，因为食物残渣在填埋时会分解释放有害的温室气体。
Revolution Apps是一个社会参与的行动，它运营着线上的堆肥革命、并与澳大利亚各地的地方市议会协作为居民提供他们在家成功修建堆肥箱或蠕虫农场的器材和技能。
堆肥革命是由地方市议会发起的社区活动，旨在减少生活垃圾填埋在环境和经济方面的负面影响。在2009年，悉尼东部的三个郊区（Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra）在新州EPA的资助下启动了一个先行项目。Revolution Apps与这些市议会合作在2011年将本项目扩展到了全国。
Ashfield Council
Ashfield Council is a vibrant and diverse community in the Inner West of Sydney. It's a great place to live and to visit, however the average household bin is still 34.6% food scraps, 16.2% garden vegetation and 4% paper.
When these things are put in the bin, they are taken to landfill where they pollute the air with greenhouse gases, and pollute the ground water with acidic, stinking leachate - YUK!
But! If they're composted or put into a wormfarm they become a wonderful resource for building healthy, beautiful soil, which is particularly good for growing fruit and vegies... turning it from YUK! into YUM!
So have a go at these tutorials, get in touch with us if you're having any trouble, or if you would like some advice. Residents of Ashfield Local Government Area can also get a discounted compost bin, or wormfarm. This includes the suburbs of Ashfield, Summer Hill, Haberfield, the eastern part of Croydon and the fringes of Croydon Park, Hurlstone Park and Ashbury
