It certainly can be a reduction if you can compost at home. The result is useful. The effort is very minimal if you don't need it to compost quickly. It doesn't need to be transported to a landfill. And my understanding is that it breaks down into carbon dioxide instead of methane if you compost instead of landfill, which is a win for climate change.
- quickthrower2 8y agoI compost and one selfish advantage is I now never run out of space in my bin. That food waste takes up a lot of volume.
