#fogo $FOGO Have you heard of FOGO? It stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics, and it’s a total game-changer for how we handle waste. Instead of sending our kitchen scraps and lawn clippings to rot in a landfill, FOGO turns them into high-quality compost to nourish our soil.
Why should we care about FOGO?
Reduces Methane: When food waste goes to a landfill, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas much more potent than CO_2. FOGO stops this process.
Circular Economy: Your apple cores and grass sheets are processed into compost that helps farmers grow more food. It’s nature’s ultimate recycling loop!
Cleaner Streets: By separating organics, we reduce the "stinky" waste in our general bins, making waste management more efficient for everyone.
What can you put in your FOGO bin?
Rule of thumb: If it grew, it goes in!
Fruit and vegetable scraps
Meat and dairy leftovers
Bread, pasta, and coffee grounds
Leaves, twigs, and flowers
The Bottom Line:
FOGO isn't just about waste; it's about shifting our mindset from "throwing away" to "giving back." A small change in your kitchen can lead to a massive impact on the Earth.
