Food. Americans are in love with food. They always talk about it. On television they advertise food products and restaurants. With the mail there is always a leaflet for food included. But what happens to all that food when its not eaten or consumed? Is it thrown away mindlessly? Or are there ways to use the leftover food?
Unlike plastic bags or other trash that takes time to decompose, leftover food or organic products are very easy to dispose of and are harmless to the environment, actually, when disposed of properly, they can be good for it.
Households with a garden would be able to use leftover food properly. Choose a spot in your property that is as far away as possible from the house and dispose of your leftovers there. I say as far away as possible because they will probably be smelly and you don't want your house to smell like decomposing food. After a while your pile of organics will start to decompose and become one with the soil. Your organic soil can then be used as a fertilizer for your plants. Chemical fertilizers have been proven harmful to the natural resources and it costs a lot of money too, which can be used for much better purposes.
Your garden will be the most beautiful in the whole neighborhood!! and your amount of garbage will reduce if you use the leftovers for an environmental purpose.

Thank you very much for that information i will remember that next time i go to throw out my dinner plate.
At my family home we do have a compost. I have to admit at first I thought it was disgusting because when I would open it to dump more food, the smell was suffocating. But I guess I can put up with a few seconds of discomfort for helping out the environment. Nice post, keep it up.
