Help join the fight against food waste
Why Compost?
The U.S. sends 133 billion pounds (~31%) of food to landfills annually. Composting diverts waste from landfills and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Benefits of Composting
Composting is Mother Nature's recycling program where waste becomes something wonderful! It gives banana peels and coffee grounds a chance to become nutrient-rich soil
Reduces Waste
Every year, the typical American discards 219 pounds of food. If a household composts its food scraps instead of putting them in the garbage, less waste goes to landfills and incinerators
Improves Soil Health
Compost improves soil health and structure by providing nutrients and moisture while attracting microorganisms. Acting as a binder, compost keeps soil intact, increases filtration, and slows the flow of surface water that could otherwise erode the soil
Reduces Emissions
When food decomposes in landfills, it produces methane gas, which is ~25x more warming and ~80x more potent than carbon dioxide over 20 years. If all Americans composted, it could have the same impact as removing ~8 million cars from roads
