A) Dave empties the grass clippings into the rubbish bin
 |
Max says "Get
with it Dad! Organic waste, like
grass clippings, produces lots of methane in rubbish dumps as it breaks down. But if you leave the clippings to scatter
over the lawn, almost no methane is produced.
Put other organic
waste, such as kitchen scraps, in your garden compost
heap. This means more oxygen can get into the waste
to help it decay (because you have smaller piles
of it in your garden than the huge piles in a rubbish
dump) and less methane is produced." |
Did you know?
45% of the average rubbish bag could
be composted - that's a huge waste of space in our rubbish
dumps.
More cool ideas
- Plant a tree in your garden
- it's fun and best of all, trees gobble up the greenhouse
gas carbon dioxide.
- Make sure you put all paper, glass,
plastic and tin items into your recycling bin.
