It is being reduced where you think it should be. There is now a more serious threat from uncontrollable methane emissions. Landfills can turn into a slushee that accelerates methane ouptput. And landfills can catch fire, such as the Chiquita Canyon landfill in Val Verde, California (90 acres). 58% of uncontrolled methane is from food decay, and is increasing. https://www.epa.gov/land-research/quantifying-methane-emissions-landfilled-food-waste https://www.epa.gov/land-research/quantifying-methane-emissi...
