Compost (Why?)

(Ed-Sheeran Songs) Do you know how much food gets wasted?
Your food is a landfill
1.3billion food gets wasted A day

1.3000000 x 10000 Food gets wasted

21,000000 of bread gets thrown away.

New Zealand throws away 122,547 tones of food a year. That is 122,547 100 kilograms.

That is 213 jumbo jets of food that has to go somewhere to rot instead of being eaten. All of this food is worth about 5872 million each year.

Nearly half of your rubbish is usually organic waste…

The rubbish has to go to the rubbish dump and it shouldn’t be left around on the ground.

Our rubbish gets burried in a landfill this is a big hole in the ground so if we put our food in the bin this is where it ends up.

30 x 12 = 360

When organic waste like food or plants starts to break down in the landfill a polluted liquid is produced called ‘leachate’. This is often toxic.

If there is an old landfill and we dump our rubbish there all of the waste food on the landfill sinks into the ground and cause the water under ground to create poison.

Organic waste in a landfill also produces methane gas.

We can compost anything if it can biodegrade- (rot) we call this organic waste.

+Composting puts important nutrients back into the soil. These nutrient help us to grow healthy plants fruits and vegetable it’s healthy to.
