Challenge

The EPA estimates that 40-50% of what is currently landfilled is compostable organics – yard debris, scrap wood, food and unrecyclable paper products. When these materials decompose, they emit methane, a greenhouse gas over twenty times more impactful than carbon dioxide.

Solution

When composted properly and spread on open land, compost greatly increases the soils ability to absorb and utilize atmospheric carbon. In addition, it extends the life of gardens, landscape and farms, providing plant nourishment and conserving water and resources.

(Cue the music of environmental cartoonist Hayao Miyazaki.) For an astounding 60 million years, no living thing could break down the tough lignin in dead plant matter. Generation after generation…
