I wonder if anyone have noticed that there are bins for all recyclables items except organic matters. Other than composting, organic waste, such as, cuttings or pruning should be replanted. I have some tips for growing from cuttings and composting at the following link: http://greenbeings.netfirms.com/tips.htm My suggestion is to get the children to bring cuttings from home to their school to have them replanted. I would like to hear more ideas on how we can reduce organic waste.
