“The single fastest and easiest thing that Californians can do is take a banana peel, or watermelon rinds and chicken bones, and put them in their green bin. Then they’ve already had a huge impact on climate change.”

From rinds to riches
Composting is one of the most powerful actions Angelenos can take to address climate change.
That’s because when uneaten food decomposes in the landfill, it generates methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 84 times more potent than CO2. And food makes up about 50% of the average trash can.
The small action of separating food scraps from the rest of your trash makes a huge difference. It’s free, it’s easy, and anyone who eats food can be a part of the solution.
