Your Body is a food composting systems though we may never have thought of it before.

All the top soil that has ever existed has been made by the decomposition of organic matter in the presence of oxygen, which is what aerobic composting is.  Composting is taking place on the forest floor and has been for millions of years. 

IN Putnan County, New York, alone there are at least SIX closed landfills, each with its leachate creeping steadily closer to the water supply.  A number of private water wells already show serious signs of contamination.   Landfills are guarantees of very serious problems in the future. 

$303 million Incinerators, even with the best of emissions control systems, put out Dioxin, the deadliest chemical known. 

Organic residuals can be recycled, transformed into premium top soil.  Only Short Term Thinking buries or incinerates its resources.

Incinerators and Landfills are known serious public health hazards.  Further more the petro-chemical fertilizers and pesticides used on depleted soils are also known health hazards.  If life is restored to the soil with quality compost, then few if any of those chemicals are needed.
