Terrible Home & Life Habits That Are Harming The Wildlife Around You

12.Throwing Away Food

If you constantly make too much food and find you’re throwing a majority of it away, it’s time to take a step back and look at how harmful that is for the environment and wildlife. Because food waste rots away in landfills, it produces methane, one of the greenhouse gases. It also increases organic matter in waterways, which may augment the growth of algal blooms.

Not only that, but food waste attracts wildlife. Decaying food is harmful to wildlife because it affects their numbers, predator-prey relationships, and reproduction patterns. The less food you waste and throw away, the better it is for the wildlife around you. Try buying less food and cooking just enough to keep you and your family full (Respect Food).
