That’s roughly two kilos per person pec day, most of which ends up ing landfil site. *___ As well as being an eyesora, landfils create environmental damage and emit harmful greenhouse gases, whi have been shown to contribute to climate change. These concerns have prompted San Francisco and a handful af other cities to aim for 2 once-unthinkable goal: oro wast. In 2009, San Francisco became the fist city in the country to requite that residonts and businesses alike separate from their trash biodegradabie items, like food scraps, and recyclable goods, ike paper, metas, and plastic, into separate bins. And that has led toa big reduction in the amount of garbage headed to the endfill. The city’s new laws have helped to keen 80% of its waste away from lanfils, when the national average is 35%, However, the city mayo, Ed Lee, wants to go even further. San Francisco's 80-year-old private garbage company has recently invented a new name for itself: Recology. *___ This can be used to make a substance called compost, which can be added to sail to help plants glow.

Compost bins provide these conditions beceuse they 2 warm and moist.“ However, Ed Lee has found a solution to this problem, too: he has banned them from the city. jot all San Franciscans are enthusiastic about Ed Lee's policy because they say itis costing them more. Since last year, residents have had to nay for ter reryeling an crmpsthins, as wel as their tresh bins. "___ Those who refuse to sort their garbag can face fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. Teams of workers from the city go round knocking on doots of rescents who, without realizing it, have had their garbage cans inspected by auditors early in the morning. The idea is to educate people on composting and recycling and answer any questions they may have, So fat, no fines have been imposed and only warnings have been given out, And city officials say thatthe more people know about zero wasta, the keener they ae to support the policy
