I had a great idea recently, to start a composting program like our recycling programs. Only to find that San Francisco already does this. Of course.

One drawback about living in a condo is the lack of land. I figured if I really wanted to, I could still experiment with composting on one of the decks. Then I found this nifty gadget for composting indoors. At $300 for a fancy garbage can, it's a bit expensive. But if I had to choose between buying a Palm Pilot for $300 and buying a composter, I'd probably go for the composter. It might be worth $300 just for the experiment. But it will probably go down in price someday.

An interview with Russ Cohn, President of NatureMill

Composting would reduce the need for landfill. However, it actually releases carbon dioxide (and water), which is supposedly bad because of global warming. Cost benefit analysis, anyone?

Solution: Plant some trees and plants in the compost produced. They will suck up the carbon dioxide.

My question is, what happens to compost and dirt? What forms does it cycle to? Is it like entropy, forever increasing? Hm...
