Greenhouse gas from wasting food at home
https://flowingdata.com/2023/08/09/greenhouse-gas-from-wasting-food-at-home/"Methane produced by food decomposing in landfills makes up 1.6% of all human-made Greenhouse Gas emissions. While that may not sound like much, it’s a large percentage for such a specific pollutant. When scientists look at hyper-specific categories, Karl says, anything over 1% is significant.
“Any action that can prevent food waste from sitting in untreated piles will directly lead to climate impacts being reduced.”"
