Tbh, starting a compost bin in my backyard was eye-opening.
Composting cuts methane and helps the planet a ton.

Wait, doesn't methane mostly come from landfills instead?

Wasn't there a whole thing about how wet food scraps in a sealed landfill make way more methane than a backyard pile? I read that a proper compost heap gets air mixed in, which stops the methane from forming in the first place. So the real problem is when all that organic stuff gets buried under tons of trash with no oxygen. It makes the backyard method look pretty good by comparison, even if it's not perfect.
