Because by composting, you are creating soil enrichment that can be put back into the ground rather than throwing it away just to have it pile up in some city dump. The food scraps you would have originally thrown away, have now been decomposed and are able to redeposited back into the ground safely, and without causing harm to the ecosystem.

All landfills incorporate geotextiles and other liquid tight fabrics to retain most of the material that could possibly leak from the landfill and technology is still developing to further reduce the amount of leakage.

How could your community so it's solid waste problem?

To address the solid waste problem in my community, we could implement a comprehensive recycling and composting program to reduce landfill waste.

Collaborating with local businesses to encourage sustainable practices and organizing community clean-up events could further enhance community engagement and responsibility. Lastly, advocating for local policies that support waste reduction initiatives would create a long-term impact on our waste management strategy.
