🍕 Pineapple is optional. Healthy soil isn’t.
Love it or hate it, every pizza's ingredients start with soil.
🪱 And earthworms help keep that soil healthy.
⚠️ But 60 - 70% of EU soils are considered unhealthy.
This #WorldFoodDay, let’s protect what feeds us.
🛠️📱 Don't bin it — repair it!
♻️ And when repair is no longer an option, recycle responsibly.
E-waste may look like clutter, but it's rich in valuable materials that could be reused.
