Retail price: $399Photo via LomiFor the mom who loves her garden and hates taking out the trash, the Lomi Kitchen Composter is the perfect foray into the world of food-waste reduction. Simply follow the set-up instructions, place the device in an accessible location, and you are on your way to fewer drippy trash runs and a healthier garden this summer. You can put any kind of leftover food in the Lomi, which will dry and grind it into something resembling dirt. But, in fact, it is a very effective fertilizer. You’d be amazed at how much space food waste takes up in the trash, and by eliminating that, you create fewer and less stinky trips. Also, the global food production and consumption cycle contributes approximately one-third of the total yearly greenhouse gas emissions. Having a composting system at home removes your household from that cycle.
