Massachusetts is combating food waste, which contributes to methane emissions, by enforcing regulations that require businesses to keep food from landfills. To assist in compliance, the state employs Heather Billings, a knowledgeable consultant who engages directly with local businesses. During a visit to the Port Tavern, she evaluated their waste management practices and suggested cost-effective measures, such as using smaller bins for food scraps and connecting them to local composters and charities. This hands-on approach aims to support establishments in reducing waste while benefiting the environment.
