garbage

You'd barely know it Jacksonville, but today is Earth Day. I started my morning by riding my bicycle to yoga class. I locked it next to the dumpster, which was filled to overflowing with recyclable paper, cardboard, aluminum cans and rotting food. I know that we have a recycling program (although a lot of people seem to ignore it), but what about a composting program? In San Francisco. the city picks up all compostable items in a separate container every week and guess what? They are approaching 75% recycling of so-called trash.San Francisco (and other cities) have also restricted the use of plastic bags at supermarkets and big box stores.
