Yes! Composting significantly reduces food waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. When food scraps decompose in landfills, they break down without oxygen, producing methane gas—a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere.
π How Composting Helps Reduce Methane Emissions
✔ Less food waste in landfills → Fewer methane emissions
✔ Decomposition with oxygen → Produces carbon-rich soil instead of methane
✔ Sustainable soil enrichment → Reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers
By composting, you're not only turning waste into valuable soil but also helping combat climate change in a simple, effective way! ♻️π±
