Why should we care about food waste? Well, currently, over half (58%) of all food produced is wasted in Canada, and it’s costing Canadians $50 billion dollars! And that smell in the landfill? That’s food waste releasing methane! Methane is known to be 84 times more powerful that carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas over a ten year period. Therefore, we can make a difference right now, by not sending our organics to the landfill, and hopefully these tips give you many ways in which to do that.
