EGG SHELLS CAN BE GROUNG AND ADDED TO THE COMPOST PILE AT HOME. EGG SHELLS CAN ALSO BE BAKED AT 350 DEGREES THEN GROUND AND ADDED TO HOME MADE DOG FOOD FOR CALCIUM.

If the food is unopened, it can be donated. many are unaware that the liability laws have not been ion effect for over 20 years wit the Bill Emerson food donation act. Schools and facilities can donate excess food and even milk as long as proper temps are maintained. Please share this info and defend to to people who claim they can't donate due to liability. In LA, our hauling facility is about to use vericomposting, so worms will eat all the excess food (including foods not normally put in compost such as animal products), food soiled paper, and napkins.

I don't understand the difference between methane and/or co2 emmited from composting as opposed to the same emmitted from plants and foodscraps place in a landfill. Wouldn't the same amountof methane and or co2 be produced in both the compost pile and the landfill, respectively?

We should be using the energy/gas that comes off our organic waste in every recycling facility. Methane has been captured for years so then why only 80 facilities across the US are converting organic waste into energy?

I live in an urban area but I would love to have goats" visit" in the summer time to keep my grass cut low. My neighbors would love that...not. Lol! I don't use any of those chemicals on my lawn or gardening areas. I just pull the weeds or cut the grass with my push mower. I purchased that mower last summer at Home Depot because, I got tired of buying gas and the fumes from gas mowing. The goats are some adorable creatures and if properly maintained and taken care of, they can be very helpful. Hats off to whom ever has them in their yard or farming areas. I also do composting of my vegetable scraps which helps to make better nutrient dirt for my plants every year. Looking forward to Spring planting season of 2018...
