Description

Food waste emits methane as it breaks down, a process that contributes to global warming. Reset talks to Jonathan Pereira, executive director Plant Chicago and Amy DeLorenzo of the Illinois Food Scrap and Composting Coalition about composting pumpkins after Halloween to keep them out of landfills. Plus, we get some pumpkin cooking tips from Jordan Wimby, a food preservationist and cultural historian also known as “Melanin Martha.”
