Explanation:

Composting is the process of decomposing organic materials (like kitchen scraps and yard clippings) to create a nutrient - rich soil amendment. Recycling typically involves reprocessing materials (e.g., plastic, glass). Combusting is burning. Source reducing is minimizing waste at the source. Since Marta is using organic waste for garden soil via decomposition, it's composting.
