The correct answer is: we hate to waste food, so we put all our kitchen scraps in the compost pile.
Indeed, you use semicolons when you have two independent clauses, i.e. clauses that have independent ideas that can stand on their own. This applies to both of the clauses. Here, we have the first clause about hating food waste which definitely stands on its own. The second clause refers to the act of putting kitchen scraps in the compost pile. It is an independent idea, it is not connected with food waste since scraps that are put in the compost pile are no longer food.

b. active voice could someone help me understand the difference XD its too subtle for me
It's in passive voice.
A good rule of thumb for cases like this is that if it has any variation of the verb "to be" (is, was, were, etc.) it's passive voice.
If you wanted to switch it to active voice you need to get rid of "is", and this is usually done by switching the subject and the object (so while in the original sentence, the race car is the doing the verb, to switch it you'd need to make the sixteen-year-old boy be the one doing the verb). This new sentence would be something like:
The sixteen-year-old boy drove the racecar
