Hi, all. Thank you for continuing to compost at church. As you can see in the graphic below, our pounds diverted from the landfill continues to increase. A primary impact of composting vs landfill dumping is composting decreases methane production in the landfill.
Because methane is a 25X stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, we have kept over 107,000 pounds of CO2 equivalents from the air since we began composting in July of 2018!! This is like not driving a gasoline powered car 190,000 miles!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! And keep increasing it!
