How to be a Countertop Composter

Do you eat food? If you said yes, this video is for you. Here's why: 13 percent of the nations trash is food. And keeping food out of landfills is important because in there they create potent greenhouse gases. What can you do? Let Umbra show you how to compost the easy way with and without worms! Fun for city or suburb. With guest appearances from comedian David Cross and rocker Brett Dennen.

What can I do with food scraps that aren't composted (i.e. cheese, meat)? Does anyone have suggestions?

[malkalevadom]

well, if your city does that they're obviously doing something wrong and something should be done to raise people's awareness to it. I'd say, write in, start a petition, if the city is employing an outside contractor who is doing these things to save money something, then raise your voice to point it out. Maybe they'll replace the company that messes up.

Get out of here with your pretentious tattoos and indie look, David Cross. You have Scary Movie on your resume.

I like your ugly fake wig, Grist.
