The return to the soil of what's taken away is why vermicomposting helps in the conservation of the environment. Vermicomposting describes the use of worms to break down certain materials such as shredded paper and kitchen scraps. The materials pass through the worms' bodies. They're eliminated as nutrient rich droppings, which become part of the soil.
The organic content of droppings encourages the passage of air and water through soil. So soil ends up being a better environment for the critters of the soil food web and for plants. It likewise ends up being less likely to compact and erode. So the resources within the soil are put to best use instead of becoming inaccessible through compaction or erosion.
