#Maine Legislature Passes #FoodScrapBan
Will keep thousands of tons of #FoodWaste out of #landfills.
March 6, 2024
"Maine’s legislature has passed a bill that would require many commercial food producers to #donate and #compost food waste rather than send it to a landfill. The bill would reduce #FoodInsecurity, save cities and towns money, and slow #ClimateChange from #methane pollution.
"#ConservationLawFoundation (#CLF) released the following statement in response: "#MethanePollution is over 80 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide in driving the climate crisis,' said Nora Bosworth, #ZeroWaste attorney at CLF. 'The main culprit of this pollution is decomposing food scraps in landfills, and this bill offers a logical solution to this problem. It’s time for Maine to catch up with the rest of New England and embrace a better solution for our food waste.'"
