Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it. And if food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane-a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Food waste, which releases methane as it decomposes, is a problem too. Across the world, the richest economies are throwing out half their food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Urban greenery adds CO2 to the atmosphere when vegetation dies and decomposes, increasing total emissions. Urban vegetation also removes this gas from the atmosphere when it photosynthesizes, causing total measured emissions to drop.
