Neighbor at West Blvd Co-op told me my compost bin was totally wrong

I was just dumping kitchen scraps in a pile for 2 years... then this retired guy named Tom over at the West Blvd Co-op said I needed to balance greens and browns. Now I do a 3-to-1 ratio of leaves to veggie scraps and my pile actually breaks down in like 6 weeks instead of rotting and smelling. Anybody else get corrected on something basic like this?

Tom's the real deal, green-brown balance is a game changer.

Green and brown in the right ratio makes all the difference.
