Mark’s town is starting a new compost facility for food waste. Mark wants to do his part to lower the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but he’s not sure how composting will help him do that. He plans to go to the town meeting and ask questions. Explain to Mark how composting can help reduce greenhouse gases. Write down two useful questions that he should ask in the town meeting.

Composting reduces the waste going to the landfill, which can lower methane emissions. It also promotes the growth of new plants and trees, which control the CO2 levels in the air. Mark could ask these two questions at the meeting:

What types of food waste will be composted?

How will the compost be used in the community?

Explanation:

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
