When organic matter decomposes, it creates methane gas — a substance that warms the atmosphere and destroys the ozone 80 times faster than carbon dioxide. Compost Nashville helps you offset that. For $29 a month, a delivery service will bring you a 4-gallon container, you stuff it full of oranges peels and pet hair, and they’ll swap it out for a clean one every week — no equipment or know-how required. Then they turn the whole thing into compost, which you can use. It makes a difference — so far Compost Nashville has diverted 12 million pounds of waste and counting.
