    Food waste disposed of in general is sent to landfill and unable to decompose. It creates methane, an extremely harmful green house gas. Students across all of UoD's halls of residence are doing this every day! There needs to be a solution, no matter how small to begin with, to stop this practice. Perhaps, compost bins on sight for scraps and food collection schemes/community fridges to stop unnecessary waste? Compost can also be used as fertilizer at UoD's allotments!
