✅ 🌍 Day 17 — Compost One Food Scrap

Why it matters

Food waste is one of the largest components of landfill trash. When food breaks down in landfills without oxygen, it produces methane — a powerful greenhouse gas.

Composting helps turn food scraps into nutrient-rich soil instead of waste.

Even a small compost habit can make a meaningful difference.
