Don't bin it, compost it: a beginner's guide to smarter food waste
Composting food waste rather than sending it to landfill drastically reduces household waste and emissions. From the old-school compost heap to worm farms and council Fogo (food organics and garden organics) bins, there are options to suit everyone, including those in small apartments. Here's how to start. Composting is the process of recycling organic matter (garden waste, food scraps and more) into a nutrient-rich mixture used to enrich soil. This contrasts starkly with organics rotting in landfill: buried under other waste, they decompose anaerobically (without oxygen), producing a lot of methane (a potent greenhouse gas), as well as the toxic sludge of leachate. Studies show composting organics produces far fewer emissions than sending them to landfill, decreasing CO2 equivalent gases by more than 50% depending on method, conditions and food type. Around 3% of Australia's emissions come from food waste, with household food waste accounting for almost one-third. And around half of what goes into household bins could be composted instead. Rachel Kernaghan, ecological education manager at Sydney's innovative waste and recycling centre, Kimbriki, says an important first step is rethinking your approach to food and shopping. Her suggestions include weekly menu plans, grocery lists and smarter, less frequent shopping, as well as cooking and eating to use up what you've got. There are hundreds of different composting solutions on the market, designed to suit different situations, tastes and budgets. Things to consider include: the size of your outdoor space, amount of household food scraps produced, what you'll do with the results, and your desired amount of effort. Rebecca Bliss, social impact manager at Sustainability Victoria, says: 'Composting doesn't need to be complicated and it doesn't need to be expensive. It just needs to be convenient and accessible for people.' The original solution is the compost heap, traditionally a big pile in the corner of the garden. Thanks to our smaller blocks and dislike of smell and rodents, enclosed compost bins (either above or in-ground) and tumblers have taken over. Depending on the model, these can process a lot of waste, producing rich, humus-like soil. There is still the possibility of whiffiness and unwanted pests, and some shovel work is required. Worm farms are another easy, popular choice. Basically a set of stacking plastic boxes filled with wrigglers, they turn scraps into nutrient-rich worm juice emptied via an in-built tap. Available in different sizes and styles, they're generally low-maintenance, low-pong and small, suitable for courtyards and balconies. However, worms can't process the same volume as a compost, are fussier in terms of scrap type and size, and more sensitive to heat. Bokashi bins ferment food scraps through the addition of enzymes. The end result is nitrogen-rich liquid (great for fertilising plants) and 'pickled' waste that needs to be dug into soil or added to compost. Suitable for indoor use, the plastic tubs take up little space and process scraps that other systems won't – citrus, meat, onion and more. Sign up to Afternoon Update Our Australian afternoon update breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion If none of these solutions suit, donating your food scraps to a composting program via a community garden, school or scheme is another option. The best place to start is with your local council. Where available, industrial compost systems are the easiest option of all. Councils collect Food Organics and Garden Organics (Fogo) bins along with other kerbside bins, transporting the waste to industrial facilities. These large-scale services can process most organic matter, from bones to compostable packaging, with the resulting compost used in parks and agriculture. The Fogo bins are a good adjunct to household composting, taking in organic matter you can't process at home. Help is at hand navigating the wide array of choices. Composting workshops are offered by everyone from councils to gardening groups, often offering discounted products. Then there are bigger organisations such as Compost Revolution, a social venture that works with local councils to remove barriers to composting, including cost, knowledge and guidance, and supports councils' e-commerce, logistics and marketing. As well as delivering discounted products direct to people's doors, Compost Revolution helps match a household's situation to an ideal solution via a quiz and educational tutorials, as well as ongoing support. 'What we do is help people choose the right composting system for their needs, with easy tutorials and support,' says David Gravina, Compost Revolution's founder. 'Home composting keeps nutrients local, supports people to reduce their waste and encourages people to reconnect with nature's cycle, while getting physically fit and emotionally nourished – intrinsic benefits you don't get from industrial systems.' However, more important than how you compost is that you do it at all. Your contact details are helpful so we can contact you for more information. They will only be seen by the Guardian.

How to invest in cryptocurrency for beginners
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Cryptocurrency investment has surged into mainstream finance, becoming an enticing yet daunting prospect for beginners. Whether you're a seasoned investor or entirely new to financial markets, understanding the fundamentals of cryptocurrency investment is essential. This guide answers critical questions for anyone venturing into the digital asset space. How do you start investing in cryptocurrency? Investing in cryptocurrency begins with selecting a reputable exchange platform and then taking full control of the digital assets through decentralized, self-custodial crypto wallets such as Best Wallet. The first step is setting up an account on a cryptocurrency exchange such as Coinbase, Binance, Kraken or Gemini. These platforms allow users to convert fiat currencies like U.S. dollars or euros into digital assets. Cryptocurrency investment has surged into mainstream finance, becoming an enticing yet often daunting venture for beginners. Yingyaipumi – After choosing an exchange, users must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, including identity verification — an essential step to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. Once verified, you can link your bank account or card to deposit funds and begin buying cryptocurrency. Mike Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs, described the process as 'surprisingly simple,' adding: 'Most people begin by buying Bitcoin or Ethereum through a trusted exchange like Coinbase or Kraken. Think of it like setting up a brokerage account.' Once the crypto is in your account, you send it to your wallet address. This is a blockchain transaction that moves your assets from the platform's control to your own. How to safely invest in cryptocurrency Security is paramount in the world of crypto. Investors should use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect their exchange accounts. For longer-term holdings, many experts recommend moving assets off exchanges into private wallets. 'Security is at the core of Bitcoin,' said Muneeb Ali, CEO of Trust Machines. A common misconception is that crypto investing requires substantial capital. In fact, digital currencies are divisible, allowing fractional purchases — even just a few dollars' worth. joyfotoliakid – 'Bitcoin enables users to own their financial experience from start to finish. But with that freedom comes responsibility — use a hardware wallet, enable 2FA, and always be cautious about phishing attacks.' Douglas Colkitt, a crypto developer and early contributor to Fogo, agreed: 'Use a trusted, regulated exchange, always enable two-factor authentication, and never share your private keys. If you're holding for the long term, learn how to use a non-custodial wallet.' How to invest in cryptocurrency with little money A common misconception is that crypto investing requires substantial capital. In fact, digital currencies are divisible, allowing fractional purchases — even just a few dollars' worth. 'You definitely don't need a lot to get started,' said Cahill. 'Most platforms let you buy fractions of a coin. You can invest $10, $50 — whatever you're comfortable with.' Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown the potential for exceptional returns, especially during times of economic instability. Art_Photo – Sean Worthington, founder of CloudCoin and a long-time crypto educator, also advised caution for new investors. 'Start small. Focus on learning how the ecosystem works,' Worthington told The Post. 'The best investment you can make early on is your time and attention.' Strategies like dollar-cost averaging (DCA) — where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals — can help mitigate the impact of market volatility while building long-term exposure. Why should I invest in cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown the potential for exceptional returns, especially during times of economic instability. Crypto also offers portfolio diversification due to its relatively low correlation with traditional equities. 'Bitcoin is a generational asset,' Ali noted. 'It's a way to hedge against uncertainty while preparing for the long-term financial revolution. It's been around the longest and has the strongest brand name and capital base in crypto.' Additionally, blockchain technology — the foundation of cryptocurrencies — offers decentralized, transparent, and secure transaction mechanisms that challenge conventional financial systems. How to invest in Bitcoin To invest in Bitcoin, follow the same basic steps: set up an exchange account, deposit funds, and purchase BTC. For more hands-off exposure, some investors choose Bitcoin ETFs or trusts, which trade on traditional brokerage platforms. Long-term investors are encouraged to store their BTC in hardware wallets for maximum security. 'If you're in it for the long haul,' Cahill added, 'consider moving it to a personal wallet you control.' Steps for investing in crytpo currency directly Jack Forbes / NY Post Design Easy Steps to Start Buying Crypto Download a trusted exchange app — Start by choosing a licensed crypto exchange. We recommend starting with the Best Wallet app, available in both the iOS and Android app stores. Create and verify your account — Sign up using your email, Google, or Apple ID. To complete registration, you'll need to verify your identity with a government-issued ID and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. Fund your account — Deposit money into your account by linking a bank account or credit card or even using gift cards. Choose an option that best fits your lifestyle for convenience or anonymity. Buy your first cryptocurrency — Use the app's marketplace or swap tool to purchase crypto by entering the ticker symbol — like BTC for Bitcoin or ETH for Ethereum — and follow the prompts to complete the transaction. Choose how to store your crypto — Decide whether you'll keep your crypto in the exchange, move it to a digital wallet (hot wallet), or store it offline (cold wallet) for extra protection. Which cryptocurrency should I invest in? Most beginners gravitate toward Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for their market dominance and established ecosystems. Ethereum supports decentralized apps like Best Wallet and Robinhood, and NFTs, while Bitcoin is considered a hedge against inflation. Other notable projects like Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Polkadot (DOT) are gaining traction, though investing in them requires deeper research. Worthington warned, 'Not all cryptocurrencies are created equal. Some function like stocks, funding specific projects. Others, like stablecoins, aren't meant to appreciate in value.' Crypto vs. stocks: Which should I choose? Choosing between crypto and stocks depends on your goals. Stocks tend to be more stable and yield dividends, while crypto offers high-risk, high-reward potential. 'Over the last 10 years, Bitcoin has repeatedly outperformed the stock market,' Ali said. 'And with the launch of Spot ETFs in the U.S., it's easier than ever to gain exposure. Financial institutions now see Bitcoin as part of a balanced portfolio.' Conclusion Cryptocurrency investing presents a dynamic opportunity to diversify your portfolio and potentially realize substantial gains. For beginners, starting small, prioritizing security, and adopting a long-term learning mindset is key. As Mike Cahill put it, 'Start small, stay curious, and focus on learning before you go big.' With careful research and responsible risk management, crypto can become a valuable part of your financial strategy.

Lacrosse Open: Hong Kong men's coach hails rivals Fogo as ‘best team in the tournament'
Hong Kong men's boss Chan Hon-kei said rivals Fogo were 'pretty much the best team in the tournament' after an opening day at the Lacrosse Open on Friday that saw both of the city's sides earn maximum points. Advertisement The hosts opened with a 23-2 victory over Chengdu University before overcoming Singapore 9-5 in a thrilling match, which they threatened to lose with the two sides level at 5-5 at point. Chan said he hoped the show of character to get the eventual win would help the team improve as the tournament progressed. 'The second match was a good learning curve for us,' he said. '[The Hong Kong players] lost their pace in the middle. We are adjusting to the contest and got caught out a lot.' Chan also coaches the Under-20s side and said he saw their match with Fogo as a chance to gain valuable experience. Hong Kong's women opened with a 14-9 victory over Chengdu University. Photo: Hong Kong Lacrosse Open Despite Fogo opening with a surprise 10-9 defeat to SLDL, Chan still regarded the Japanese side as the benchmark side.
