Support and encourage composting in your area - Approximately 30% of landfill waste is organic waste.
This organic waste creates methane gas (bad greenhouse gas). By diverting organic waste from the landfill and composting it, we can reduce greenhouse gases and create nutrient rich top soils for agriculture thus reducing the need for petroleum based fertilizers.
