Food waste has become a growing problem across the United States. Collectively we waste about one third of the food that is produced for human consumption. When this food is dumped into landfills and compacted with other trash it produces methane- one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases. The solution to this problem is to compost organic waste, though many city-dwellers view composting as something only country folk do. Compost Revolution is a web-based organization whose goal is to educate Philadelphians and other cities on the growing food waste problem, to offer suggestions to avoid wasting food, and to offer tips and tutorials on small and large scale composting using both indoor and outdoor compost methods.

there are compostable, reusable, or recyclable items.

There are no exceptions.

Disposal means “removing from your line of sight” and placing in landfills far away, ruining the quality of the Earth.
