Shropshire Good Food has provided us with a graphic illustrating the energy savings achieved through our composting efforts over the past two weeks. This visual representation highlights the positive environmental impact of diverting food waste from landfills, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving energy.
The energy savings from composting can be significant. For instance, composting food scraps instead of sending them to landfills can prevent approximately 0.5 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions per ton of food waste. These savings contribute to mitigating climate change and promoting environmental sustainability.
