"This is a great way for people to be more socially responsible without having to change their routine," said Daniel Blake, President and Founder of EcoScraps. "Pollution will be reduced, and you will get the opportunity to share a beautiful flower with family and friends."

According to EcoScraps, decomposing food accounts for one-fourth of the landfills in the United States, and produces almost as much methane gas as all the cars being driven.

"When a person uses a bag of EcoScraps' organic soil, it is like parking their car for a week," said Craig Martineau, Eco Scraps' VP of Business Development and Co-Founder. "Our company recycles food waste into a nutrient-rich soil conditioner. Instead of clogging landfills and gassing the air we breathe, our products enrich the soil and help plants grow healthier in an environmentally friendly way."
