Laura Moran of Mainstreet.com suggests that
home gardeners
compost their vegetable food waste — which is chock full of nutrients that plants love — and
mix it into existing soil to give the garden a healthy boost.
And then there are the appliance choices, where now a remarkable 84 percent of
homes have garbage disposal units, which are still illegal in many places, use up lots of water to flush away food and fat that clogs sewer pipes and then has to be removed at the sewage treatment plant, where stuff that might have been useful
compost is now
mixed with poop and waste and good for not much at all.
