For the ones of you who do not know what is composting or do not have a good reason to start composting, here are some information:

"Yard trimmings and food residuals together constitute 24 percent of the U.S. municipal solid waste stream. That's a lot of waste to send to landfills when it could become useful and environmentally beneficial compost instead!" (EPA website http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/rrr/composting/index.htm);

In LA the City recently started a program to collect food waste and bring it to a composting location http://www.cbs8.com/story.php?id=137554# .

By the way, according to Rumpke so far Cincinnati has only 16 years of landfill left, then the city will need to "export" garbage with an increase cost for you and grown up kids. (Cincinnati Magazine, August 2008 - 35 Ideas for a cleaner, greener city - page 127, #5).

So don't miss this opportunity and start composting.
