Banana peel that ends up in regular landfill with other waste products including plastic can take up to 2 years to break down. Banana peels need the right temperature and combination of bacteria, fungi and oxygen to break down organically. Banana peels that are covered with garbage will break down anaerobically releasing methane into the atmosphere.
Methane is a substance that adds to the ozone layer, capturing sunlight and heat in the earth. This causes the earth to heat up quicker. While one banana peel won’t make a lot of difference but millions of bananas thrown into landfill causes lots of methane to be release into the air and earth.

Oh well I guess the talking point of today is the evil banana.
Natural processes are killing the Earth!! This must be stopped!
methane.....ozone.....tell me again that this wasn’t the Bee.
So just wondering.......I’m guessing most banana peels would be inside a plastic garbage bag, how would that methane escape into the atmosphere? I don’t think the plastic bag disolves too.
BS
This must be stopped ASAP.
Ban bananas to save the planet.
Back in the day, circa the late 80s, there were all sorts of stories about how disposable diapers were filling our landfills. I even saw a show where they hired a team of archaeologists to do a formal excavation of a landfill to document what was really filling landfills. The biggest contributor turned out to be newspapers. The diaper panic seemed to die off after that.
Yeah, I was awake all night worrying about that...
A banana peel will change from a nice shade of yellow to dark brown by the time you bring it home from the supermarket.
No wonder landfills are so slippery.
I will stop eating bananas~! ( sarc.)

Completely untrue if you piss on them first. Uric acid does wonders for lefties and their banana peels.
I can see it now! Joe Slob tosses a banana peel in the garbage. It goes to a dump where a polar bear slips on the peel, falls, splits his head open and bleeds on the nearby ice berg which melts and floods the earth killing all humanity!!!! All because Joe Slob needed to eat the forbidden fruit!!!!! (AlGore)
If you want to know how long it takes for organic stuff to decompose, just look at old Joe
millions of bananas thrown into landfill causes lots of
methane to be release into the air and earth.

Also lots of poop flushed down the commode.
It’s even longer if you buy those plastic bananas for your family. Yeah, they last longer and never break down.
BS. They literally decompose on my kitchen counter within a week. Ask the fruit flies.
How long does it take a banana boater voter ballot that the Dung Beetle Party uses to decompose in a landfill? There are millions of them hitting the landfill at one time after the far-left jughead is declared the winner by the fake news boyz on FNC, MSNBC, and CNN.
There’s a volcano burping in Mexico right now that is putting out more greenhouse gases than 100 trillion bananas.
