lord_casek Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom today signed the nation's first mandatory composting policy into law. The ambitious rule will help the city achieve what are arguably the most aggressive organics waste targets in the U.S. http://www.celsias.com/article/san-francisco-newsom-ushers-organic-composting-law/ http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/06/24/san-francisco-mandates-recycling-composting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 well, it was in high school when i noticed i lean toward fascism more than most other isms, so don't bother changing my mind when helping the environment out is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 50million Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 *quick compost usually turns into soil within 30-90 days. then, SF will be able to sell it back to farmers, city parks and/or gardens. it kinda sucks that they HAVE to, but it will save a lot of energy/money/landfill space.

Soup Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Old news. He's making a push for reelection. All it's doing is making you sort your garbage. And if it works there will be no more need for landfills. This is good money-wise and for the environment. Americans should care more about where the food/shit they buy comes from and where it ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 "still, this is the u.s., we have freedoms. this is abuse." Abuse? Really? I can't see how this is abuse. Is asking you to wash your underwear abuse? No, it's not the same subject at all but it's something that is easy to do and good for you. Kinda like composting. I'm truly amazed at how many people do not recycle. Even when the tools are there right in front of them they still throw paper, plastic, aluminum/tin into the garbage. I can't wrap my brain around it. I feel like even to this day we, in the US, we are still ten years behind everyone else when it comes to doing what's right. All because of freedom. Everyone is fucking whacked out over freedom in this country. And it's absolutely silly. This subject alone illustrates my point. People getting pissy because they have to compost? Awwww... boo hoo. I don't see anyone getting pissy because they have to flush the toilet after they take a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anyone getting pissy because they have to flush the toilet after they take a shit. asking me to wash my underwear is fine. i can choose whether or not i want to. telling me is bullshit. i don't like mandates to do something. who said i don't recycle? i do, BY MY OWN CHOICE. if you read the article, a business has to have 1 square yard of compost per week. what if the business doesn't have enough compostable trash for one week? fines? is that fair? are they supposed to borrow some refuse from another business to meet a quota? bullshit. helping the environment and not shitting where you eat is fine by me, as long as i'm not told i have to or face fines. that is fascist.

Weapon X Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i was gonna say the same thing, joker. you guys been eating too much freedom fries. btw, if i was leader of the world, people who choose not to recycle or wash their underwear would be getting the deathcamp treatment. freedom is what's holding you back.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 youre really bitter and sour these days seeking. its kinda strange for it to be mandatory and not something highly stressed and free if you would like to participate. a lot more people would do it than you think. especially in SF.
