It's understandable that cities are strapped for cash these days. However, composting and greening an area are part of the overall change that is knocking on the door of American society. <br /><br />Those who advocate private solutions to economic dysfunctions also usually subscribe to the role of philanthropy. Groups like GC and neighborhood organizations are philanthropic in action. If the composting operation goes to a private company then part of the deal with city government should be for the company to "voluntarily" sustain the community groups. That's how a business can give back and work with a community instead of just working it for cash like the Burger King. <br />Lastly, I think more communities like St. Louis County should be going green and offering composting collection points. I think even a small fee is reasonable for residents to pick up mulch and compost.Dan Davinroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884395567717761414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190846390008853053.post-32394989644064023912009-07-01T18:28:55.829-05:002009-07-01T18:28:55.829-05:00Thanks for making me aware of this issue.
