  What is the solution for getting rid of swill and waste? We could get dispose of more than 40% of trash with just one method. Composting is important, but it is pretty complicated. Some people don't compost, because they think it's too hard. Did you know composting keeps a whole lot of trash out of landfills? Composting can benefit you in many different ways. Even though composting is imperative, there are people who don't compost!
  
  People who don't compost have very legitimate reasons for not composting. Usually, people have much more green material than they do brown material. According to Julia Rymut, "Kitchen scraps are very wet and as they start to decompose, they produce even more water." Since kitchen scraps are wet when they start to break down, they give off even more water than before. Composting may attract Vermin or bugs. Garden of Oz says, "Open bins can attract rodents, flies, bees, and bears."(np) These animals and bugs smell the compost and want to go closer to it. Compost doesn't follow the same schedule all the time. During the winter, Worms and beetles don't decompose your compost, so the process will slow down. Since the procedure takes a couple weeks, you can't add stuff to the pile or you'll go back to day one. (Garden of Oz np) If you add material to the compost before cycle of composting is over, the cycle will restart. While there are some disadvantages to composting, there are also many advantages to composting.
  
  Composting can benefit you in more ways than you might think. Obviously, Composting improves the welfare of your plants. Good compost can improve composition and improve your plant's health. (Schuller np) It helps speed up decomposition of dead leaves and dead branches. Compost is more crumbly than regular soil, so the decomposers can move through it much faster. One thing you probably didn't know is that compost gets rid of nuisance in your garden. Weeds, flies, rodents, and other bad stuff will stay away from your garden if you have compost. The Garden of Oz says, "The most obvious environmental benefit is that composting can significantly reduce the amount of solid waste that would otherwise find its way into the trash collection and dumping cycle." (NP) This means, An obvious benefit of composting, is that it can keep a lot of waste out of landfills.
  
  Composting and conserving can keep waste out of landfills and improve the environment. You can turn would-be rubbish into something useful, compost. When it's turned into compost, waste becomes fertilizer that you can put in your garden instead of in your trash. Some people go as far as to take what can be composted out of landfills. They take what someone threw away and reuse it. You know, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." It reduces the amount of methane gas that is created. Methane gas, also known as greenhouse gas, is created when waste is destroyed improperly, so if we waste less there will be much less greenhouse gas. As you can see, compost creates an alternative way to get rid of debris.
  Composting is very important, but some people don't compost. There are many benefits of composting, and one of them is that composting keeps trash out of landfills. When trash is taken to landfills, about 50% of it could be composted, instead being of wasted. If we composted all that we could, there would be much less trash in landfills. (Schuller np) What if everyone composted all that 50 % of rubbish that is going to landfills? There would be a significantly less amount of waste, since we would be using all of that waste as compost. The amount of methane gas would drop since there would be much less destroyed waste creating it. Everyone would have a bunch of compost, which they might use in gardens.
