Slashing methane emissions could slow the runaway train of global warming long enough to get other emissions under control.
Reducing food waste helps the climate
Food makes up almost 25% of the waste in our landfills, and when it decomposes, it releases methane.
Sediments exposed by glacier melt begin emitting greenhouse gases over time
As atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases rise, the Earth warms, thereby accelerating the melting of glaciers
