Husband and I have been composting for years , we use our compost for our veggies gardens and neighbors are amazed of our produce,that we share with them.
+nepali hercules agreed. What's up with these big city changes only affecting certain communities?! And some would argue these changes can even hurt communities who are less economically advantaged.
Cassie you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen hands down from the bottom to the top of my healthy love pumping heart what I say to you is true and God guide this woman into my arms she is one fine Cassie!!! Mmm mmmm mmmmm!!! I could only be so lucky ! Have a wonderful day beautiful stranger if our paths ever crossed then I would defenitly be heading in the right direction!!! Good luck with your passion for economically better solutions to an inevidible, don't stop for no breaks subject manner ! Fighting for good is the only way to use what's in our hearts !!! LIFE'S GREAT WHEN WE USE WHAT GOD GAVE US AND WE KEEP HIM IN !!!
Im very proud of prodjects like this I think this is what all countries should do this way and try to throw away the least possible I hope that projects like this or other green offensivs dont come too late to save our planet
Hey i am abhimanyu from INDIA, can you please share some name of good book or some other related stuff related to this project , so that i can contribute something for my country
Look at the other side of the argument like I did and found out that the poorest countries are guilty of way more pollution 90% in plastic... Not us. You're barking up the wrong tree
That's what happens when you have a bunch of drug addicts and homeless people who can't do anything but pick up trash for a living in a city of hypocritically selfish hipsters. San-Fran is a goddamn slum. And that's how the Chinese and their proxies want it. What? Don't act like foreign governments can't buy our officials. It's as simple as a pre-arranged "donation" from an "American" shell company staffed by turncoat Chinese-Americans, or even a Dead Drop loaded with illicit money. Sometimes they use couriers from Latin gangs. Traitors. Globalist traitors. All of them.
FrozenEternity And that's the way it should be. I'm glad Seeker's not censoring me. A little Civil Dissent is good for the soul, if there is such a thing...
Scowler I did not say they should censor you. Just that I seem to largely disagree with most of what you have said here. As I am sure you will not agree with that I say.
we need this in Texas!! our high ways from Austin (the capital) to El Paso are disturbingly covered in plastic bags and bottles. This is so amazing to see!!! especially in the USA
When I worked in the East Bay area, we were doing similar sorting.. But one of the problems with receiving waste plant, and especially wood waste, is presence of residual toxins from preservative "protective" treatments, paints, etc.. Some woods can still have old layers of lead from paint, or from applications of copper-arsenic, sometimes present in pressure treated lumber. I recall when my city had to cease taking wood waste due to that problem. Wood without those toxins grinds-up for use in all kinds of good recycling processes and projects!.
It's more about money than helping. The plastic gets sold to china and guess what, by 2020 china ain't buying it no more. So it's going to end up in landfills
My city Nanaimo on Vancouver Island Canada has curbside composting and it has helped to cut waste generation by 30%. Our city is at near 70% waste diversion from our landfill. Incineration is a looming concern though, since our landfill is reaching capacity. We need to increase diversion even more. Next step for me is to help push to make a local recycling center that recycles styrofoam and other hard to recycle items a formal city institution and broaden its mandate. People will care for the environment, if it's easy. Life is just too busy and often draining to dedicate much to efforts outside the necessary. Why very efficient curbside collection is a must for busy cities.
in austria nearly everybody seperates their waste into plastic, paper, residual waste and organic waste!! that makes the process of recycling and reuse the waste so much easier!! of course plastic is also a problem here - we should concentrate more on reducing our plastic waste!!
The other key component Reuse needs to be considered as well as recycling. Here in MN, Goodwill is opening new stores regularly, I can count 5 within 5 miles of my place all opened within past 4 years, gearing up for babyboomers downsizing/dying off...Keeping things circulating also keeps them out of waste stream, or at least delays entry, leading towards zero waste. Online we advertise things for free pick up via trash nothing/free cycle. Great way to get rid of useable/rehabilitable things that would go to dump since Goodwill doesn't take everything.
you dont go to a person who is cleaning your shit just so that you can have a fresher future and say "it smells like hell". he didnt like it at all. 2:59
I got here by wanting to know more about rural waste management and voila I have seen a lot that I am willing to begin to practice starting from my home. Thank You
I would like to do this in my city, Harare, Zimbabwe... 2014 and 2016 our city dump has been on fire for weeks, choking the residents nearby. please can someone point me in the right direction to get this started. thanks
Ginny Sinclair I don't know how present and strong the government is over there, but you should probably contact the local authorities and directly talk to them about your possible solutions rrgarding the issue
wow that's terrible! I don't know much about your government, but you can contact them to complain about the problem and demand better waste policies, and/or organize a movement/facebook page/petition and get the support of others affected by this. What I do know is that you can always change your own contribution. Watch zero waste videos on youtube to get inspired to stop contributing waste to the landfill. Bring your own cotton bags to the market to get veggies and fruits without packaging, try to drink tap water instead of bottled if it's safe, replace all your disposables with resusables. Encourage your community to do the same. Sending love and good luck
Love this! It's really intriguing to see how people are adapting to deal with this pressing issue. I for one am on my own (slow but steady!) journey to becoming zero waste. :)
This is lovely...my mom also trying it at home...but wen it overloaded. We have to throw it till the drum turns into decompost. She literally feeling sad to throw waste to municipalities now...
its the internet. introduced by the government. owned by the shadow government kkk. an you think they are different from their mothers an children? according to this thought we should selectively gas mosquitoes because some won't be parasites? i like the idea. its like a kkkristian utopia belief.
The thing is, we say cities should do this. But we shouldn't wait for the government to wake up, we need to wake up and take things in our hands. We, ordinary people, from all around the world, need to become a change and not just sit around and wait for others.
This is a great start! Good job! Now, follow Terracycle's "Loop" initiative to see what the future holds for preventing disposables from even entering the waste stream. As for compostables that should always be and hopefully no more shoes.
The point is everything that can gets recycled or composted. It's still a big deal. Coupled with increased government regulation of fossil fuels and waste such as plastic, it's possible to be "zero waste" in the future.
I think they define waste as the end product that goes to landfills or incinerators. If you're able to recycle that plastic and turn it into more plastic then you haven't created waste, you've created more product. Creating compost is also a great use of food waste, rather than placing it in a landfill where the food is never allowed to fully decompose the food is made into compost and sold. Of course there will always be a small percentage of waste because everything can't be recycled but that's where the first R (reduce) comes into play. Props to SF for taking steps to lower waste.
San Fran is not a successful city. It's a slum controlled by the Chinese. They're keeping the city in disarray, ripe for espionage or even a land invasion...

San Francisco has become a disgrace with doing nothing for the homeless, people using the streets as the bathroom, junkie leaving everywhere, etc. Too bad, it used to be a great city. Now, I won't go there. But, they don't allow plastic staws.....
Just wanna say wow...I will do my best...will do every possible things to start work on waste management in my country ...this video has provided this strength of possibilities for waste management ....

they just send it to Malaysia, where it gets dumped into landfill. Narrow minded people call it recycling, but others think that trowing rubbish over your fence doesn't make the planet cleaner.
And how happy are you now that San Francisco has turned into s shyte hole? Did you really belief this hype? Really? You did not realise it is just another way for rich people to grab subsidies and let the poor people pay for it? Can I sell you Table Mountain for a bargain?
Great job! Every State in U.S must do this! And where in the world should do this...unfortunately some countries may not be able afford this process. Do not ship your garbage to underdeveloped countries. We all live in one world 🌎!
I was just reading about a man who organized a clean up crew and they threw out about 50 TONS of trash from the streets and the homeless communities. That is an INSANE amount of garbage!!
Well I know there was a Dane talking about composting, but here in our town in Denmark we do compost at the recycling center, and if you need some for your garden it is free to pick up too :)
living in a small rural community, composting is a way of life, everyone has their own compost pile in the woods and frequent use their own compost. when you have to haul your own trash composting saves time, money, and effort
If they’re able to eliminate the human waste on the sidewalks as effectively as this waste, there’s no telling what they can accomplish. Keep it up San Fran!!!
Wow so grateful for this! Consumers have a ton of power and impact, but governments definitely need to do their part too. So happy to see the composting being accommodated. Please remember though that recycling is not the goal; reducing waste as much as possible is. Bringing your own bags/containers and buying in glass jars or bottles with a packaging deposit, only this is truly zero waste and the best thing to do! Do your part, as much as you can (: Also remember that the nr 1 most impactful thing you can do for the climate is to stop buying animal products!
in Brussels (at least in my district) since we need to prepare our garbage in bags divided by plastic&metals, paper, organic, bio (green stuff like grass or branches) outside, when garbage collectors come and they see ( yes they are transparent ) or feel that some bags contain something they shouldn't contain they just leave it in front of your house and it's a neighborhood shame if you have multiple bags in front of you house .
So someone from Denmark goes to the US to learn how to recycle when Sweeden which needs to import trash from Norway because it's too efficient at recycling is the neighbour of Denmark. As usual the US and Apple are the best and only ones in the world.
Actually Sweden gets trash from denmark aswell and england, italy and a bunch of other countries and less than 1% of our garbage goes into landfills so thay Mayor from denmark probably just wanted to travel a little and made an excuse for why he was going to San Fransisco who recycles about 80%...maybe the mayor of San Fransisco should go to Sweden to learn how its done.
I see in other states a real lack of recycling , where they feel it's just easier to discard it. Nearly all apartment complexes don't recycle it's all discarded. And there's a serious slide scale on the repayment of items recycled aluminum $0.30 lbs., stamped isn't correctly , glass $ 0.00 , type 1 plastic $0.00 . There simply diverting it to land fills. Yes Texas , and Colorado I'm talking about you. Californians recycle it's good for the planet and the economy. ♻️
Recycle people... if we all work together we can help our planet to become a better place for our kids and our kids children. It does take a little more work but our planet need it and we need our planet. God bless everyone...
I live in the UK and the only things our household sends to landfill are non-recyclable plastic films and crisp/chip packets, I even make sure our lollie/popsicle sticks are composted.
My brother and his family tried to get a company called "Geo-Compost" off the ground that would not only REUSE most solid waists but actually go back into the land fills and Glean the already buried Waist. The city was obviously paid MORE by the Disposal companies as reps from those companies were at the demonstration and told the mayor and council members "This won't work". That was 25 yrs ago and we are STILL burying solid Waist So I guess it all depends on WHO owns the "Green Companies",,,huh. Same with Solar and wind turban energy too.
+Daniel Nyboe Andersen Well good. I'm glad. I *love* your accent. It bothered me to see the subtitles when I could understand you easily, although I do get it that others may not.

Im from Qatar in the Middle East. We are slowly starting to care about the environment now. Slowly there are programs of recycling showing up, but people here don't care about the environment. I am trying to change that. I hope people will become more ecofriendly and take care of the environment.
not all of us just some. depends who you're talking to and where. some people might just be unaware due to the families they have/places they grew up. I didn't learn about climate change until highschool and my mother, older brother, and his wife deny that climate change is an actual thing. I had to research it and everything since It wasn't really something they talked about except in a bad light. Some people are purposely ignorant while others, such as myself, aren't ignorant by choice but just uninformed.
The people who were denying the reality have moved the goalposts to "climate change is happening but it's not our fault", most of them seem to say it's the sun. Zalx please don't conflate the volume of the political right to all of us.
Recently catered for the Security team at the Outside Lands event in Frisco. And let me tell you, that they have a huge groups of teams who separates piles of trash into different bags. So I see how it's easily assembled back at their landfill...
NG Dennis where abouts in Canada? Im from interior BC and people really only care about recycling can and bottles bc they get some money back. Although I believe recently more people have started sorting more recycling and compost. Compost seems to be the one most people don't really understand since we have very few farms around here.
Actually in India most houses make compost out of their food waste and we reuse our items and I'm the end everything is given up for recycling it's not a new idea but it's how they promote it and we don't
I gave it a thumps down because it is a pipe dream that never realized. Rich people pocketing subsidies, and shipping trash to the Far East. Google for yourself. Don't believe everything you hear. For once in your life do your own research and learn to question stuff.

It doesn't matter who cares or not, but if you care then do the right thing. Personally I litter a lot as compared to an average San Francisco citizen but as compared to an average Indian I avoid as much littering as I can.
then why does Sweden incinerate so much of its waste rather than recycling/reusing/repurposing? in fact, it incinerates so much waste that it imports it from other countries leaving a sizeable carbon footprint in the process. that doesn't sound anything near "10 times better."
thuzan117 What a joke!! SF streets are covered with shit, literally feces, and heroine needles. Don't lecture us red states on how to operate our cities. No, we don't have shit and needles littering our streets and don't want them. I got the hell out of SF because people have lost their minds. I had to explain to my neighbors kid not to pick up a friggin' heroine needle because it's DANGEROUS. People like you make me sick! You walk around sipping your cup of joe wearing yoga pants ignoring what's wrong in front of you. BTW, shit for brains, I live in GA and yes we know about composting. We were doing it well before you yuppies called it "cool" and "rad." Please, grow a brain!!!!
I live in Las Vegas and there’s almost no options for composting, probably because in a desert there’s not a whole lot of farmland. I really wish this was an option in my city.

recycling trash is not "zero waste". its just "100% recycled waste" city.
"ZERO WASTER" should mean that 100% of people make 0% of waste while living.
The point is everything that can gets recycled or composted. It's still a big deal. Coupled with increased government regulation of fossil fuels and waste such as plastic, it's possible to be "zero waste" in the future.

Now you better reduce your own waste following small things like no shopping with plastic bags, no food to take out etc
بہت اچھا کام کر رھے ھیں آپ گریڈ جاپ آپکا کام اس بات کی گوائی دیتا ھے کہ آپ بہت عقلمند قوم ھیں اور بہت دور کی سوچ رکھنے والے ھیں اپنے اردگرد کا معحول وہ ھی لوگ خوبصورت بناتے ھیں جو خود خوبصورت ھوتے ھیں جن کے من میں محبت ھو زندگی سے پیار ھو کچھ کرنے کا جزبہ ھو آپ بہت عظیم کام کر رھیں ھیں جس سے آپ کے ملک کے ساتھ ساتھ انسانیت کو فائیدہ پونچ رہا ھے اور زندگی پروان چڑ رھی ھے آپ کو میں شکریہ کہنا چاہتا ھوں اور ایپریشیڈ کرتا ھوں
What about plastics? Isn't it the most difficult material to recycle? How are they doing it?
JaviRockMusic redcycle
We have a real solution to plastic waste problem ! check my RUclips chanel
Ship it to Asia. Pretend that it's good
they just send it to Malaysia, where it gets dumped into landfill. Narrow minded people call it recycling, but others think that trowing rubbish over your fence doesn't make the planet cleaner.
@@calgarycanada4274send them to us we make money with it we have a machine transforming 20 tons of plastic each day into 15000 Liters of crude oil !
All cities should require this!
This makes me happy for the future of our planet 😊😍
You all are so dense. Have you downloaded the snapcrap app yet?!
Climate change is the biggest hoax ever
And how happy are you now that San Francisco has turned into s shyte hole? Did you really belief this hype? Really? You did not realise it is just another way for rich people to grab subsidies and let the poor people pay for it? Can I sell you Table Mountain for a bargain?
This is amazing! I hope all cities can do this! It’s genius and so long overdue. So long.
3:00 "Smells like hell" .. hell is gonna smell like compost LOL

Great job! Every State in U.S must do this! And where in the world should do this...unfortunately some countries may not be able afford this process. Do not ship your garbage to underdeveloped countries. We all live in one world 🌎!
They need to take a look in the streets lined with homeless people. They'll find plenty of trash there!!!
I was just reading about a man who organized a clean up crew and they threw out about 50 TONS of trash from the streets and the homeless communities. That is an INSANE amount of garbage!!
Don't forget about the dope heads throwing needles everywhere
Well I know there was a Dane talking about composting, but here in our town in Denmark we do compost at the recycling center, and if you need some for your garden it is free to pick up too :)
There is no recycling in my town. I have to drive 30 min to drop it off at a recycling zone.
living in a small rural community, composting is a way of life, everyone has their own compost pile in the woods and frequent use their own compost. when you have to haul your own trash composting saves time, money, and effort
If they’re able to eliminate the human waste on the sidewalks as effectively as this waste, there’s no telling what they can accomplish. Keep it up San Fran!!!
Enough plastic syringes to pave a road?
This is an amazing idea that all countries should know and take action on!
I wonder if they have seen San Francisco? Nothing goes to landfill, because it is thrown on the street
They need to pressure wash their streets and sidewalks 😔
Wow so grateful for this! Consumers have a ton of power and impact, but governments definitely need to do their part too. So happy to see the composting being accommodated. Please remember though that recycling is not the goal; reducing waste as much as possible is. Bringing your own bags/containers and buying in glass jars or bottles with a packaging deposit, only this is truly zero waste and the best thing to do! Do your part, as much as you can (:
Also remember that the nr 1 most impactful thing you can do for the climate is to stop buying animal products!
My Town is one of the greenest in my state
in Brussels (at least in my district) since we need to prepare our garbage in bags divided by plastic&metals, paper, organic, bio (green stuff like grass or branches) outside, when garbage collectors come and they see ( yes they are transparent ) or feel that some bags contain something they shouldn't contain they just leave it in front of your house and it's a neighborhood shame if you have multiple bags in front of you house .
@@YT-GuestAccount fair enough
So someone from Denmark goes to the US to learn how to recycle when Sweeden which needs to import trash from Norway because it's too efficient at recycling is the neighbour of Denmark. As usual the US and Apple are the best and only ones in the world.
Grinch Yeah. Interesting point...
Actually Sweden gets trash from denmark aswell and england, italy and a bunch of other countries and less than 1% of our garbage goes into landfills so thay Mayor from denmark probably just wanted to travel a little and made an excuse for why he was going to San Fransisco who recycles about 80%...maybe the mayor of San Fransisco should go to Sweden to learn how its done.
yes as they pay sweden to take the trash. sweden burns in. mainly for heating but there exist other methods of removing the trash as well.
I see in other states a real lack of recycling , where they feel it's just easier to discard it. Nearly all apartment complexes don't recycle it's all discarded. And there's a serious slide scale on the repayment of items recycled aluminum $0.30 lbs., stamped isn't correctly , glass $ 0.00 , type 1 plastic $0.00 . There simply diverting it to land fills. Yes Texas , and Colorado I'm talking about you. Californians recycle it's good for the planet and the economy. ♻️
It's supposed to be $0.95 cents per lbs of aluminum.
Maybe that shoe was made out of compostable materials.
Can anyone help with how much will this entire setup might cost? I really want to study more about it.
3 years later they are know nationally as being so bad at waste theres human waste on their streets
This is amazing. So proud of these great creatures who still look forward to make a better world.
Someone from San Francisco needs to confirm if they still follow this in 2019.
Can someone please explain the bit between 2:26 to 2:33 - how does the aeration of the organic matter process work?
"it smells like hell" SALTY AF
Recycle people... if we all work together we can help our planet to become a better place for our kids and our kids children. It does take a little more work but our planet need it and we need our planet. God bless everyone...
Feces and used needles aren’t consider waste.
This is amazing,i wish every city was like this.
I'm so meant to live in San Francisco, CA. As soon as I finish my degree schooling I'm headed straight to San Francisco. 👍
DONT GO THERE!!! Its nothing like Full House.
Get ready to pay 90% of your salary on a 10 X 10 foot dorm room.
You may think you got in the wrong plane or the wrong country upon arrival at SF.
I live in the UK and the only things our household sends to landfill are non-recyclable plastic films and crisp/chip packets, I even make sure our lollie/popsicle sticks are composted.
this is beautiful
My brother and his family tried to get a company called "Geo-Compost" off the ground that would not only REUSE most solid waists but actually go back into the land fills and Glean the already buried Waist. The city was obviously paid MORE by the Disposal companies as reps from those companies were at the demonstration and told the mayor and council members "This won't work". That was 25 yrs ago and we are STILL burying solid Waist So I guess it all depends on WHO owns the "Green Companies",,,huh. Same with Solar and wind turban energy too.
I like to introduce this system in my country india
I too ..
I made compost with food waste and i can tell you yhe tesult wad amazing!!!The compost SMELLS SO NICE, SO NATURAL and does not stain your hands!!!!
It really bothers me when subtitles are added to someone who is easily understood
Yess!!! I thought I was the only one!! 🙌
+Lady Lyssa You guys just made my day! I'm that subtitled guy and I was wondering if I was that hard to understand :-)
+Daniel Nyboe Andersen Well good. I'm glad. I *love* your accent. It bothered me to see the subtitles when I could understand you easily, although I do get it that others may not. I still didn't like the subtitles even with that in mind lol. Don't ever change just because a few may have difficulty with it. 💁
Im from Qatar in the Middle East. We are slowly starting to care about the environment now. Slowly there are programs of recycling showing up, but people here don't care about the environment. I am trying to change that. I hope people will become more ecofriendly and take care of the environment.
This hasn’t aged well. There so much human waste on the sidewalks now.
We need moreeeee people like you!!!
Do Americans still deny climate change?
Only the dumb ones, so yes, most of them.
+Zalx lmao
not all of us just some. depends who you're talking to and where. some people might just be unaware due to the families they have/places they grew up. I didn't learn about climate change until highschool and my mother, older brother, and his wife deny that climate change is an actual thing. I had to research it and everything since It wasn't really something they talked about except in a bad light. Some people are purposely ignorant while others, such as myself, aren't ignorant by choice but just uninformed.
The people who were denying the reality have moved the goalposts to "climate change is happening but it's not our fault", most of them seem to say it's the sun.
Zalx please don't conflate the volume of the political right to all of us.
Our fault or not, we know we can change it, so why would it matter? Even if it was the sun, we could still minimize the effects greatly.
Awesome, this is so genius! Hopefully LA, Chicago, NY, and Dallas will follow soon
Singapore is complete zero waste ....
The whole country is waste free
That's so amazing 😱
Prakash Pandey for some reason im not surprised
Recently catered for the Security team at the Outside Lands event in Frisco. And let me tell you, that they have a huge groups of teams who separates piles of trash into different bags. So I see how it's easily assembled back at their landfill...
canada has been doing this for years 😂😂 its not a new idea
NG Dennis where abouts in Canada? Im from interior BC and people really only care about recycling can and bottles bc they get some money back. Although I believe recently more people have started sorting more recycling and compost. Compost seems to be the one most people don't really understand since we have very few farms around here.
NG Dennis it's*
this has been around since 2009, the oldest countries to start something like this started in the 1990's that's not that long ago.
Actually in India most houses make compost out of their food waste and we reuse our items and I'm the end everything is given up for recycling it's not a new idea but it's how they promote it and we don't
Well China apparently likes buying our plastic milk jug pellets
How could anyone give this wonderful video a thumbs down??? I couldn't get that 😕
San Francisco go ahead👍
I gave it a thumps down because it is a pipe dream that never realized. Rich people pocketing subsidies, and shipping trash to the Far East. Google for yourself. Don't believe everything you hear. For once in your life do your own research and learn to question stuff.
Man: trying to save the world 🌎
Woman: cares about the smell
"The eco gender gap: why is saving the planet seen as women’s work?"

How can you change it. First bottles total silicate. Next plastic which is not decomposable. Iron how do you crush into powder.
Riiiigggghhhhtttt !!!! If you believe any of of this I've got some nice oceanfront property I'd like to sell you. Oh, by the way, the property is in Nebraska!
I would love to see good things like this in my country Philippines.
San Francisco is one of the nastiest cities now tho..lol
How about using some of it in plasma burners for power generation ? Or are they not up on modern technology?
You can put it in the old Delorien. You know, from Back to the Future...
None in India
There are many .
Ignorant
This is so beauty,i hope my country indonesia
Start doing same like this
YGBSM. San Francisco is just swimming in feces and needles. But I guess that doesn't count as waste. Lol
this is amazing and should be a good example for other cities/countries.
Oof, this didn't age well.
Updates please? Anyone know how much progress they have made?
Bubonic plague is on the way.
@@jitendrag2714 You are exaggerating right?
The rich people have spend all the subsidies, now the trash is on the street. Gullible people still believe all the lies that sounds great.
Meanwhile in India:
"Who cares?!"
Are you interested?
We are fucked up as a country. The only thing thing we are good at is producing children and garbage.
Meanwhile in India:
Public pooping on the beach
:(
Many Indians care, we need to raise kids to recycle
It doesn't matter who cares or not, but if you care then do the right thing. Personally I litter a lot as compared to an average San Francisco citizen but as compared to an average Indian I avoid as much littering as I can.
may i know what about the scenario of plastics which are can't compostable and recyclable
Come to sweden we are 10 times better ate it :)
lingus0212 not really
yes really...
lingus0212 no one wants to go to sweden now.... Overpopulated by migrants.....
then why does Sweden incinerate so much of its waste rather than recycling/reusing/repurposing? in fact, it incinerates so much waste that it imports it from other countries leaving a sizeable carbon footprint in the process. that doesn't sound anything near "10 times better."
Admirable. We all MUST recycle.
Can we compost the homeless
Don't be an a-hole
That's amazing!! We definitely need to help the Earth this needs to be cross the world..
does anything like this happen in republican states? anything at all like this?
thuzan117 No. lmao
Places like Calif specialize in garbage
thuzan117 - ya and they’ll eventually put your kids to work sorting trash like in third world countries cause they are fucking broke.
thuzan117 What a joke!! SF streets are covered with shit, literally feces, and heroine needles. Don't lecture us red states on how to operate our cities. No, we don't have shit and needles littering our streets and don't want them. I got the hell out of SF because people have lost their minds. I had to explain to my neighbors kid not to pick up a friggin' heroine needle because it's DANGEROUS. People like you make me sick! You walk around sipping your cup of joe wearing yoga pants ignoring what's wrong in front of you. BTW, shit for brains, I live in GA and yes we know about composting. We were doing it well before you yuppies called it "cool" and "rad." Please, grow a brain!!!!
No, and a 1200 square foot house doesn't cost a million bucks either.. SFO is a garbage heap.
I live in Las Vegas and there’s almost no options for composting, probably because in a desert there’s not a whole lot of farmland. I really wish this was an option in my city.
