Is it bad to throw your fruit onto the ground?

Question

Does is cause harm to the environment? And how long would it take for apples and mandarins to decompose?

Answer 1

Ahem. Don't listen to those imposters of the science world, they tell you lies and folly! Scandal I tell you, SCANDAL!

That “shrewd scientist” claiming to know everything is such an imposter they should be shot! In the head! Then their tongue cut out, and then I will shoot their tongue.

The real and absolute truth of the matter is, I am a scientist, studying this very thing, and seeing whether it is good for the earth to throw your fruit away in every country.

I believe that in places like Somalia, Zimbabwe and New Zealand, it is very good for the environment if you throw away your almost eaten fruit, like banana skins or apple cores. Egg shells are also appropriate for they help plants grow big and strong!

Countries like Egypt however, the ground doesn’t take in the rotten fruit very well, so if you live there, don’t throw your fruit on the ground.

My research has spanned many years, and I assure you that this is the absolute truth.

Thank you, Dr Forsyth

Answer 2

my guess is no....cuz fruit is produced by plants and it can easily rot....so it probally decomposes fast. but this is only my guess, im not a scientist lol

oh yeah plus bugs and other animals would likely eat it if they found it on the ground, so it would go fast....

Answer 3

No i dont think so because since fruit will decompose into the grass so it will be like if it was never there and also fruit is grown on trees so most of the time it falls on the floor so its like it was never even there so my answer is no it is not bad to throw yur fruit onto the ground.

Answer 4

I am a shrewd scientist and  i believe that fruit decomposes on the ground over a long period of time, but also I am an enviromentalist and believe that if it can be helped, that fruit shouldn't be left on the ground and put in the closest bins possible. (shona)

Answer 5

well...i know some people that put banana peels and egg shells around roses...there is probably some kind of bacteria? or mineral? that might help out the plants its on... and people put fruit and stuff in a compost pile and then put it around plants...so its probably ok
