Environmental Impact of Composting:

• According to Project Drawdown, “[Composting] converts organic waste into soil carbon, averting landfill methane emissions in the process. […] Composting could avoid methane emissions from landfills equivalent to 1.13–1.40 gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2050. That total excludes additional gains from applying compost to soil.”
