    Food Composting
    Producing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?

    Landfill.  I think of all of the food waste in our landfill where it can all be composted and returned back to earth.  Once back to earth, the compost are rich with nutrients that can help farmers grow better crops.  it's the circle of life and we must all participate.
