30% or more of what goes into landfills in America is food waste. When food waste is deposited into landfills and is layered with other trash, it doesn't get the air it needs to decompose the way it should. That produces methane - a greenhouse gas 27x more potent than vehicle emissions!
Composting your food waste benefits us in two important ways. One, it lessens the impact and cost of transporting all that heavy garbage. Also, it returns nutrients to the soil. Even if you're in an apartment, it's great potting soil for houseplants and for your commons spaces. Learn how now!
