1、In Massachusetts, food waste is a serious issue. When thrown into landfills(垃圾填埋场), it produces methane, a harmful greenhouse gas. To tackle this, the state has a rule: Large food businesses must keep food waste out of the trash. Helping them follow this rule is Heather Billings, a 63-year-old waste reduction consultant.
One cold morning, Ms. Billings visited the Port Tavern, a sports bar in Newburyport. Abbie Hannan, the co-owner, had invited her to examine how the restaurant dealt with its waste. In the kitchen, Ms. Billings noticed a simple but common mistake: Food scraps(下脚料) like tomato tops were being thrown into a large trash can. Then, at the dumpster, she checked for compostable(可用作堆肥的) items.
As a state-hired consultant, Ms. Billings took notes and gave practical suggestions. She recommended using smaller buckets inside trash bins to collect food scraps, and she connected the restaurant with composting services and food donation programs. "Our biggest challenge is getting the staff to follow the rules," Ms. Hannan said. Ms. Billings responded by showing clear signs that could be posted in the kitchen as reminders.
The state's regulation applies to places producing over half a ton of waste per week. While businesses that ignore the rule can bepenalized, the authorities rarely step in. Still, many restaurants are trying. Some even donate extra food to charities, as hunger remains a problem in many communities.
Massachusetts has made more progress than other states with similar laws. Environmental groups hope to go further, encouraging residents to compost at home. Meanwhile, the law has also helped new composting companies grow.
For Ms. Billings, this work is more than a job. She sees it as a way to protect the environment. At Port Tavern, the biggest challenge was that four restaurants shared the only one dumpster. "It's complicated," Ms. Hannan admitted. "Not impossible," Ms. Billings said with a smile.
