In honor of Earth Day, I’m passing along a video that was sent to us at work from Envirocycle. The company makes a composter that looks like a barrel. The operation seems fairly simple. To place the compost, I imagine you could just roll the container to where you need to dump the material.
The company website suggests turning the drum about 3 times a week. The entire composting process can take 30 to 40 days. You can even order their product directly from Amazon!
Dancer Allison Orr is behind an effort to help celebrate the people who make sure trash gets picked up in our communities. She is working with the employees of the Austin Department of Solid Waste Services to produce a film and dance performance. The effort is being promoted through Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects. A link to a short documentary about the project is below, and if you are interested in supporting the project, you can do so at the site or by visiting http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/189615064/trash-dance-the-movie
