Why Compost Matters
Composting improves environmental resiliency. By removing food waste from landfills, we reduce our trash volume by about 40-60%. This in turn extends our landfill's life and reduces heavy machinery required to handle material. Food scraps in USA municipal landfills is the second-largest category of materials added to them, and landfills are the third-largest, human-related producer of methane gas (28x worse than carbon dioxide in capturing heat in the atmosphere). By diverting this food waste away from our local landfill to the Reunity Soil Yard, we transform this material into beneficial, healthy soil amendments and compost instead (using a process that doesn't release methane into the atmosphere). When the finished compost is spread and seeds are planted, there is an increase in that area's ability to sequester carbon from the atmosphere (where there’s too much) down into the soil (where we need it).
