#5 Food scraps
Hear us out! Yes, everyone is throwing away their food scraps in the trash can if they do not have a garbage disposal. But while it is considered the norm, there are a lot of experts that warn against it. Not only is it the main thing that ends up being thrown away from each household, but in the long run, it can end up being extremely dangerous to the environment.
Think about it: in the landfill, since the majority of trash is food scraps, everything ends up fermenting and creating a ton of methane, which is the most potent greenhouse gas. You can imagine just how much methane landfills produce. Rather than throwing them away, we should compost or recycle our food scraps. If not, there should be a better recycling program so that food scraps could be turned into other resources in an organized manner.
And if you care about keeping your home as clean as possible, make sure you don’t do the mistake of wiping these things with kitchen towels! You are going to regret doing it later!
