They'll emit no methane, and you'll reduce the energy needed to haul your garbage to the dump.
Trashed food ends up in a landfill, where it rots and emits methane — a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes more to global warming
than CO2. Toss your leftovers in a compost bin instead. They'll emit no methane, and you'll reduce the energy needed to haul your garbage to the dump. And if you're a gardener, adding compost to your soil will enrich it while increasing moisture
retention, reducing the amount of watering you'll need to do.
