Sustainability Tip:
Use the whole egg – add crushed eggshells to your garden!
Eggshells make a good addition to compost piles and garden soil. The eggshells can help as a physical barrier against pests this spring. The shells also provide calcium and can help to increase pH levels in soil, as some plants including lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and beans prefer alkaline soil.
All eggs in Manitoba grocery stores are locally produced by egg farmers like the Siemens family from Rosenort, MB. Regulated egg farmers are making strides in greening the egg industry. Over the past 50 years, Canadian egg production has increased by 50%, while the industry’s environmental footprint has been reduced by almost 50%. Egg farmers are building on this momentum by adopting new practices and embracing innovation to strengthen our commitment to environmental sustainability.
