Cheers Henry - There's definitely a lot of good happening in big cities like New York City. You just have to find them and make it more accessible to everyone :)

As a small organic garden. I will throw my clean cardboard without printing on it or Staples into my compost occasionally. The worms absolutely love it! I used to make worm beds when I was kid for fishing. I can't imagine how much safe clean cardboard is readily available in NYC. It also helps to keep the soil moist along with coffee grounds. I'm not a fan of wood chips because you get slivers when your gardening even with gloves. But it sounds like it's working great for your city. Great Work! 👍 I commend you on your efforts!

I live in LA. I bury my kitchen scraps in the flowerbeds of my apartment building. Most of it decomposes within a month. (Thinks like egg shells and avocado rinds take a few months.) Occasionally I get vegetables growing from the seeds that ended up in the compost. I would totally recommend it for people wanting an easy way to compost!

It's probably one easiest and most beneficial things you can do to improve your carbon footprint. We're sorry to hear it's not accessible near you, but there's always the option of getting small at home-composting bins. They're effective and don't smell at all :)

How do they avoid methane on their compost piles?
@MakeAChangeworld

Great question Mario! Here is a short answer to your question from Project Drawdown: "Composting ranges in scale from backyard bins to industrial operations. The basic process is the same: ensuring sufficient moisture, air, and heat for soil microbes (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) to feast on organic material. Rather than generating methane, the composting process converts organic material into stable soil carbon, while retaining water and nutrients of the original waste matter. The result is carbon sequestration as well as production of a valuable fertilizer." For more info, we found this summary page useful for a better understanding of composting: drawdown.org/solutions/composting

@@MakeAChangeworld Great input but is it aerobic or anaerobic composting this one you used? "How do organic discards contribute to greenhouse gases? By definition, all organic discards contain carbon. When they decompose naturally under aerobic conditions the CO2 they give off is part of the natural short-term carbon cycle. Since this is part of the natural flux of CO2 it is not considered in GHG computations. However, when those organic discards are placed in an anaerobic environment the decomposers will convert and release the carbon as methane and other volatile organic compounds which can contribute to global climate change. Organic discards that are high in nitrogen, such as food scraps, manures and grass clippings, under wet and oxygen-limited conditions, can also produce N2O during decomposition, roughly 300 times worse than carbon dioxide. How does composting effect Global Climate Change? Part 2: Composting Process The EPA recognizes that well-run composters emit little methane and N.O from the biological process of composting, so have little impact in GHG. Of course, the compost process uses diesel fuels to run grinders, turners, front-end loaders and the like. The burning of this fuel creates GHG emissions, as does electricity used to operate blowers, pumps, etc." www.compostingcouncil.org/page/USCC-COVID-ResidentialCompostFactsheet
