Can a garbage diposal have a possitive affect on the environment as opposed to composting?

Question

I use a garbage disposal but, I am thinking about starting to compost.I was just wondering what the adverse affects are of the garbage disposal.

Answer 1

It would be a negative because the food has to be separated out at the water treatment plant.

Answer 2

no, becasue eventually it will only end up in landfills but if its segregated there will be more efficient ways to recycle our garbage in a sustainable manner.. HOWEVER, recycling only helps and it doesn't really answer the problem. watch the story of stuff by annie leonard. just try to watch it,
