New Zealand Nature subject area: Food waste | Ngā para kai

Fact: Annually, households send 122,547 tonnes of food waste to landfill, where it produces methane – a harmful greenhouse gas. (Love Food Hate Waste New Zealand) | I ia tau, ka tuku atu ngā kāinga i te 122,547 tana o te para kai ki ngā rua para – ki reira whakaputaina ai te mewaro, he haurehu kati mahana kino.

Idea: Rubbish collection should always include a separate food waste bin for composting, even if we all have to pay more. | I ngā kohinga para, me noho ngā para kai ki tētahi ipu motuhake kia pai ai te mahi whakapōpō, ahakoa he utu anō pea tā tēnei āhuatanga.

Question: How do you feel about this idea? | He pēhea ki a koe tēnei take?
