Burning Yard Waste In the Keys Is A Real Mistake

The burning of yard waste in the Keys is a real mistake – I would rather continue to pay the higher cost to at least have the waste burned to generate power than to simply produce ash and air pollution.

In our community in IL we collected kitchen waste (no meat or animal products) and composed it. There are only 360 homes in the community but the compost was free to property owners or it would go to the organic farmer nearby.
