Food waste is a devastating issue that has a direct impact on climate change and the environment at large. When food collects in a landfill, it creates methane, a greenhouse gas that is far more potent than carbon dioxide. In turn, all of the resources that were used to produce the food (land, water and energy) are then also wasted which impacts biodiversity. A sustainable solution to food waste is to compost & repurpose your kitchen scraps! ... The Urban Composter City bokashi bin is a countertop composting system that turns your unwanted peels, food scraps and leftovers into nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden. This revolutionary compost container doesn’t just hold your kitchen scraps en-route to the compost heap; it actually starts the composting process right in your kitchen without any bad smells. And you can compost not only fruits and vegetables, but also meat, fish, dairy, eggs and fats! #StopFoodWasteDay #shopgreenlivingstore #shopwithpurpose
