Fruits & vegetables are produced thanks to the local farms & big corporate farms, this pushes competition throughout the entire states.
Once grown, food items are packaged, transported, and distributed throughout the country, to all types of markets, where they are purchased.
Food items are prepared for individual/family consumption in the form of meals. Banana peels, orange peels, coffee grounds, etc... become byproducts of everyday cooking and are considered food scraps.
These food scraps, unless correctly separated, are placed in a regular trash bin. Weekly picked up through local garbage collection systems in places, collected waste ends up in landfills or incineration plants.
As a society, we cannot continue on this path. It’s an unsustainable path and will put our planet in a vicious cycle towards climate catastophe. As a society, we cannot continue on this path. It’s an unsustainable path and will put our planet in a vicious cycle towards climate catastrophe.
By implementing composting, we’re allowing to return essential nutrients & resources to depleted soils (from initial farming/growing...) and continue Earth’s natural nutrient’s cycle.
With today's climate crisis and rising sea level rise, we must start implementing regenerative systems in place. Implementing composting is a one of them, and a critical one. As soils become nutrient-depleted, erosion increasingly degrades land, which means fewer plants can thrive. (Plants themselves absorb carbon dioxide...)
Soils themselves could potentially sequester enough greenhouse gases in a year to equal about 5% of all annual human-made GHG emissions. 1

The back2earth team has identified several strategies to ensure our vision is realizable and conceivable over the long term. To help reduce our dependence on landfills, we must educate, prevent and aware the public about the problem of landfills.
The Compost4KIDS & Compost 101 program are dedicated to the education of compost in schools, public events, etc... While the back2earth Academy is aimed at providing composting resources to a broader, online audience.

The Compost 4 All program is aimed at diverting local food scraps from households from landfills, but to compost stations. Once there, it undergoes multiple process, helping it transform into compost, not methane-inducing trash.
