Technorati Tags: Carbon material----white,brown,cardboard,newspaper,sawdust. The only exception is glossy material due the chemical content.

Technorati Tags: A Family Project: Compost being covered by black polythene to prevent flooding and bird invasion. It is a good idea to get the entire family involved to sustain domestic waste recycling. Also if children are involved,it would sensitize them to environmetal consciousness at a tender age.
