YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Thanksgiving leftovers are tasty, but much of it ends up in trash cans. According to one estimate, Americans tossed out 316 million pounds of food on Thanksgiving. That waste will release thousands of metric tons of methane - enough to power 26,000 homes for a year. But composting the leftover food may offer a solution.
