I just became interested in the art of composting, thanks to New York City's Sanitation and botanical gardens. Basically, instead of throwing out your unwanted vegetable, green scraps, twigs, eggshells, paper products and leaves, you collect them in a bin for composting. According to statistics, composting reduces 30% of trash going to the landfill. Every six months the city gives back the compost they creat. It is ideal for ganderning.
I think the DR would benefit from a program like this. The rate of composting would be much faster than in NY due to the tropical weather down there. This would be a win-win situation since less garbage is going to the landfill and people are getting rich compost for their garden. I understand that people must first be educated and probably won't have the initiative, but I think if a few start doing it, it will catch on.
