Suffield Academy Reduces Food Waste
|

Food scraps are the number one item found in landfills, and with such a large percentage of that waste being biodegradable, extremely high levels of methane gas and carbon dioxide are released, trapping heat in our atmosphere and contributing to global warming.
People/Business
