Greening Our Waste in L.A. and Orange counties
Sierra Club staff members and activists recently surveyed 23 cities in Los Angeles and Orange counties to better understand what the region is doing with discarded food scraps and yard trimmings. Does it go into methane-belching landfills or are cities finding a way to compost? The data gathered will help the Club push for more sustainable management of these materials, known in waste parlance as “organics.”
