Food waste in our trash goes to incinerators or landfills. Both disposal methods result in greenhouse gases, most notoriously, methane, which is more than 85 times a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.
Composting food waste has big benefits!
- Creates healthy soil and food
- Sequesters carbon
- Reduces methane emissions
- Produces jobs
- Filters and cleans water while reducing runoff
- For a healthy planet and for future generations, smash your pumpkins and learn about composting food waste!
A limited number of extra pumpkins will be on hand if you would like to participate and come learn about composting but don’t have pumpkins.
Please sign up for a specific 20-minute window.
