How to Prevent Food Waste with Meal Planning

![Your food scraps DO NOT break down in the landfill. Swipe all the way to the right to see perfectly preserved carrots in the landfill. 😳
Actually, that carrot photo is the reason why I started composting in the first place. I had always assumed that my food scraps would biodegrade in the landfill just as they would if they were composted. BUT, as it turns out, for our food to break down, it needs oxygen. (Think about how compost needs to be turned/stirred regularly.) Items in the landfill are compacted so tightly that they couldn’t possibly break down. Instead they are basically preserved for forever. How crazy! 🤪
Let’s stop embalming our banana peels and onion skins and make nutrient rich compost instead!! 🍌🥭🌶🍆🍠🥕🧅
