    About the composting - if you live in a region which has a professional compositing facility, properly sort your rubbish and don’t compost on your own.

    Composting emits a lot of greenhouse gases and professional facilities capture them and use them in less harmful ways. So if we were all in-house composting our bio-garbage it would be more harmful for the environment than using communal services.

    It’s a little bit different for gardening products - those first capture greenhouse gases and would rot on ground anyway so composting kinda balances out. But still, for example if you’re cutting your grass just leave it on the ground and rake it. This way it’s not gonna rot and will fertilize your lawn.
