EDIT: I’ve since been informed it’s more like 2% of total greenhouse gases coming from landfill. I stand corrected!

Apparently 25% of all greenhouse gases come from methane emitted by food waste biodegrading anaerobically in landfills. This is not good.

If your local area separates food/organic waste, please do so diligently. If your local area doesn’t, consider home composting if you can.

And above all try to generate as little food waste as possible.
