I would like to see investment in small businesses that provide food and green waste composting capacity for municipalities that don't currently provide that service. The California Air Resources Board has estimated that in addition to reducing landfill emission, the application of compost saves .42 net tons of CO2 per ton composted through soil carbon storage, decreased water use and fertilizer use, and decreased soil erosion. Despite landfill gas capture systems, over 6.7 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent fugitive emissions were released from California’s landfills in 2009, according to CARB’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/data/tables/ghg_inventory_scopingplan_00-09_2011-10-26.pdf> |
