During a weekend dinner about a month ago, my household was discussing about how we dispose food scraps and bio-degradable substance instead of dumping into the garbage bin. It was no brainer. A compost pit in our backyard. But, how this behavior will have some positive impact to the environment. Then, everyone gave their opinion. Abbey proposed saving or preserve landfill. We agreed. We collected a month worth of data. Food scraps and bio-degradable to a bin and garbage (non food scraps and non-biodegradable) to separate bin. I weighed food scraps and bio-degradable daily and recorded them. A month worth of data was recorded. By extrapolating the data, our household saves about 8500 pounds (3855.5 kg) a year of landfill.
Bon Jersey!
