He said "composting doesn't work"??? Of course it does...g!
It works because everything breaks down...except for Toyotas....

but I
digress. In time all vegetation will break down. We can help it along

by
doing certain things. The 'thing' we need to do varies depending on

this
that and the other thingie!
Get his email address or tell him about this newsgroup and get him

to
communicate here. We can't have people saying composting doesn't work

when
we know it does and can help by providing corrective information. And

more
importantly, if people believe composting does not work then they will

send
all the good stuff to land fills...ouch!


Not worth the effort trying to find him again, although he had the

personal
characteristics necessary for a lively career and wide readership on
newsgroups: opinionated, prone to misinterpretation and exaggeration,

and
easily insulted by contradiction.

I believe the composter sale was sponsored by the City as part of a

program to
reduce landfill, although Calgary has adequate landfill space to meet

its
needs
for some time in the future.


Yes, but then what? And then when all the landfills are filled...just
where do we put the 'stuff'?
Oh, send it here, there and the other place...and then what!? Just

what
do we do with it? When all the landfills are full?

Turn it into parkland as was done at Centennial Park in Toronto. A massive
pile of garbage was collected, covered, sodded, vented and has now been for
several decades a ski/toboggan hill which is the centrepiece of a 435 park.
