Why Compost Matters
Composting combats climate change on three critical fronts. First, by removing food waste from landfills, we reduce our trash volume by about 40-60% which extends landfill life and reduces heavy machinery required to handle material. Secondly, food waste in landfills is also a high producer of noxious, planet-warming methane gas. Methane is 28x worse than carbon dioxide in capturing heat in the atmosphere. Over 40% of waste in USA municipal landfills is food waste, and landfills are the third largest human-related produce of methane gas. By diverting this food waste away from our local landfill to the Reunity Soil Yard, ensures that we transform this material into beneficial, healthy soil amendments and compost instead (using a process that doesn't release methane into the atmosphere). Third, when the finished compost is spread and seeds are planted, the ability for that area to sequester carbon from the atmosphere (where there’s too much) down into the soil (where we need it) is activated, improving climate resiliency in our community.
