When food goes into a landfill, it

decomposes anaerobically (without

oxygen), and produces methane gas.

If not captured for energy use, this gas

pollutes our environment and burns

large holes in the ozone layer over New

Zealand.

Methane gas affects the quality of our air, and

speeds up global climate change, which bring on

intense storms and cleansings from

Papatuanuku to restore balance. Methane is

20 times more potent than the carbon pollution

from our cars!
