What is a beneficial use of organic waste?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Making compost
Organic materials such as food scraps, leaves, and grass can decompose through microorganisms under suitable composting conditions. They form compost, which adds organic matter and nutrients to soil and may improve soil structure and water-holding capacity. Open burning causes air pollution, disposal in water harms aquatic systems, and mixing with plastic makes treatment and recycling more difficult.
