Ashes to ashes: The cycle of life returns human bodies to
the soil, where they decompose and eventually return to new
life as a tulip or perhaps as an apple (unless they've been
embalmed, but that's another story).
That life cycle can also be true for banana peels, coffee
grounds, and wilting flowers — if consumers don't toss them
into the landfill where they'll get mixed together with plastics
and other toxins, thereby rendering them useless to future
generations.
This week, join host Jerry Kay, publisher of the Environmental
News Network, to learn how San Francisco's composting program
is bringing new life to old food.
This week's featured guests include Robert Reed of Norcal
Waste Systems, Chis Simas of Capay Fruits and Vegetables,
Mark Houser of Alexander Valley Vinyards, and Nigel Walker
of Eatwell Farm.
