Food waste in the United States is a genuine problem. The average American family produces up to twenty pounds of unnecessary food waste per month. Even those who are environmentally conscious can’t help but let their eggs shells, tea bags, and banana peels slip through the cracks from time to time. Although these offenses may seem insignificant, food waste piles up in landfills devoid of the oxygen necessary for natural decomposition. Instead, the food decomposes anaerobically and produces methane; a harmful greenhouse gas.

Composting is a painless process that if practiced universally and implemented diligently, can make a significant difference. By the end of this post you will be better educated on composting methods and, if you haven’t already started, will persuade you to make composting a part of your everyday life.
