Why Compost?

Food waste just left to rot in a landfill produces methane gas, not compost. This methane gas actually plays a key role in the depletion of our ozone layer and global warming. When you compost, you reduce methane production— which lessens your environmental impact – and produces usable, natural plant fertilizer.
