Reduce emissions from food waste

It is estimated that if food waste emissions were represented as a country they would rank third after China and the United States; this is a relevant fact that should not be underestimated even if the focus is usually on fossil fuels which are worth about seventy-five percent of emissions (evidently always the biggest problem). Wasting food means increasing emissions of methane a gas eighty times more powerful as a greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide, then it takes twenty years to degrade remaining in the atmosphere for a long time thus overheating the planet in a vicious circle; in fact, having higher temperatures means more fermentation of the food and generally difficulty in storage. Needless to say wasting meat has an even greater environmental impact; therefore it is better to adopt a diet that is as vegetarian as possible.
