    I feel hopeful as Why Waste connects more people with tangible and empowering solutions to take action in a world of so much uncertainty, despair and paralysis. An action such as feeding waste to worms may appear insignificant when faced with the large problems of the world, but it’s so much more than cleaning up our planet. It is actions like this that change our shared cultural stories and behaviours. Thank you for sharing a beautiful way of being.

    We have hired a worm farm and have attended the Compost to Culture Change workshop at Why Waste. Leo is passionate about sharing his knowledge and wisdom about how we can live more sustainably and reduce waste. Leo is a great speaker and host, we highly recommend his workshops and the great Why Waste worm farm hire service.

    I have subscribed to the Why Waste Worm Farm for both a business and holiday home. The service is great! The farms come ready to go with all the information you need. They help manage the holiday home farm with guest occupancy fluctuations to ensure the worms have enough food during the quite season. Our business worm farm has been supported by staff more than we expected, some staff even bring their home food scraps for it...that's a great result!!
