Maine.&nbsp;Additionally, food recycling could decrease CO2 emissions in Maine by 27.7 thousand megatons every year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To prove that food recycling works, we launched four 1-year long pilot programs in the communities of Winslow, Waterville, Portland, Readfield\/Wayne, and Fayette.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id2364_e22094-a6 >
