Whether cooking at home or eating out, people tend to waste a lot of food. Throwing out food responsibly is important, because when food rots, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is dangerous to the environment. Dispose of food recycling and composting organic materials, and giving away what you can to charity, and putting other food in the trash. You should also try to take what steps you can to minimize your food waste.
Compost at home. Composting foods that can be organically disposed of at home is a great way to reduce the amount of food you throw in the trash. It’s good for the environment, and can give you some useful compost for the garden. Homemade compost will fertilize your soil and help with any gardening you do.Use food scraps such as fruits and vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells, nutshells and tea bags.Do not dispose of meat, dairy or oilsthis way.Add the food waste to cardboard, newspaper, vegetation and other organic materials in your compost pile. Mix it in with soil and dirt so the food can be broken down.When you add new material to the pile, turn it with a garden fork or other tool to let fresh oxygen in to help with the composting process.If you don’t have a yard, you can still compost at home with an earthworm farm.[1]
