Banana peels, chicken bones and leftover veggies soon won't be allowed in most California trash bins under a mandatory food recycling program designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.
The goal is to turn food scraps into compost or energy rather than let them decay and emit methane, a gas many times more potent than carbon.
Once the food is in the green waste bin, it will go to a facility that can compost it or use anaerobic digestion to turn it into energy.
Cities will then be required to buy back some of product, creating a resource loop that advocates say is more climate friendly and economically sensible than simply throwing food waste in the trash.

It's tough to grasp how foolish these people are who are supporting mandating this recycling plan.
