Why is composting important?
Composting is good for the planet! Composting by bike is a good choice if you do not have the space, time, knowledge, or desire to deal with kitchen scraps on your own.
Compost will happen no matter where the food scraps end up – if it's the landfill they will decompose anaerobically (without air), producing methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide. 14% of our municipal waste consists of food matter, with less than 3% being recovered or recycled. In total, landfills produce 20% of the world's methane emissions, a huge contributor to global climate change.
