The difference between food waste in a landfill and in a compost pile largely comes down to how the decomposition process occurs: • 1. Landfill Environment: • In a landfill, food waste is typically buried under layers of other waste, cutting off its exposure to oxygen. This creates an anaerobic environment (without oxygen). Under anaerobic conditions, microorganisms break down the organic material and produce methane (CH₄), a potent greenhouse gas, as a byproduct of the decomposition process. Landfills are often tightly compacted, further reducing oxygen flow and encouraging methane production. • 2. Compost Pile Environment: • A properly maintained compost pile is an aerobic environment (with oxygen). When organic matter like food scraps decomposes in the presence of oxygen, microorganisms break it down into carbon dioxide (CO₂), water, and nutrient-rich compost. While CO₂ is still a greenhouse gas, it is much less potent than methane. Additionally, composting can reduce methane emissions that would otherwise occur in a landfill because the aerobic process does not generate methane. • In summary, the presence or absence of oxygen during decomposition is the key factor that determines whether methane is produced. Landfills lack oxygen, leading to methane production, whereas compost piles allow oxygen in, preventing methane formation.","styleRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":1351,"styleRunExtensions":{"styleRunColorMapExtension":{"colorMap":[{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_DARK","value":4294967295},{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_LIGHT","value":4279440147}]}},"fontFamilyName":"Roboto"}]},"headerRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":1351,"headerMapping":"ATTRIBUTED_STRING_HEADER_MAPPING_UNSPECIFIED"}]}},{"itemSectionRenderer":{"contents":[{"continuationItemRenderer":{"trigger":"CONTINUATION_TRIGGER_ON_ITEM_SHOWN","continuationEndpoint":{"clickTrackingParams":"CNwBELsvGAIiEwj74YX22PCJAxVuaHoFHU-4OSY=","commandMetadata":{"webCommandMetadata":{"sendPost":true,"apiUrl":"/youtubei/v1/next"}},"continuationCommand":{"token":"Eg0SC29VLUszZDlIblhVGAYyJSIRIgtvVS1LM2Q5SG5YVTAAeAJCEGNvbW1lbnRzLXNlY3Rpb24%3D","request":"CONTINUATION_REQUEST_TYPE_WATCH_NEXT"}}}}],"trackingParams":"CNwBELsvGAIiEwj74YX22PCJAxVuaHoFHU-4OSY=","sectionIdentifier":"comment-item-section","targetId":"comments-section"}}],"trackingParams":"CNsBELovIhMI--GF9tjwiQMVbmh6BR1PuDkm"}},"secondaryResults":{"secondaryResults":{"results":[{"lockupViewModel":{"contentImage":{"collectionThumbnailViewModel":{"primaryThumbnail":{"thumbnailViewModel":{"image":{"sources":[{"url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FPZDTQPcj_o/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEwCKgBEF5IWvKriqkDIwgBFQAAiEIYAfABAfgBtgiAAoAPigIMCAAQARh_IEMoLDAP rs=AOn4CLBShNKXkOpO3KgTYxetODthttD_GQ","width":168,"height":94},{"url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FPZDTQPcj_o/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwExCNACELwBSFryq4qpAyMIARUAAIhCGAHwAQH4AbYIgAKAD4oCDAgAEAEYfyBDKCwwDw== rs=AOn4CLCGUQ3eYT9l7-CqO0oOaKefq-9IEQ","width":336,"height":188}]},"overlays":[{"thumbnailOverlayBadgeViewModel":{"thumbnailBadges":[{"thumbnailBadgeViewModel":{"icon":{"sources":[{"clientResource":{"imageName":"PLAYLISTS"}}]},"text":"9 video's","badgeStyle":"THUMBNAIL_OVERLAY_BADGE_STYLE_DEFAULT","backgroundColor":{"lightTheme":3349009,"darkTheme":3349009}}}],"position":"THUMBNAIL_OVERLAY_BADGE_POSITION_BOTTOM_END"}},{"thumbnailHoverOverlayViewModel":{"icon":{"sources":[{"clientResource":{"imageName":"PLAY_ALL"}}]},"text":{"content":"Alles afspelen","styleRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":14}]},"style":"THUMBNAIL_HOVER_OVERLAY_STYLE_COVER"}}],"backgroundColor":{"lightTheme":5844767,"darkTheme":5844767}}},"stackColor":{"lightTheme":10057579,"darkTheme":9666166}}},"metadata":{"lockupMetadataViewModel":{"title":{"content":"How to Compost"},"metadata":{"contentMetadataViewModel":{"metadataRows":[{"metadataParts":[{"text":{"content":"South Hill Compost
