BY-NC-SA San Francisco's new ordinance requiring residents and commercial building owners to compost goes into effect today. Since the new law was announced in June, the city has already increaded its composting by 25 percent -- a big step in reaching its goal of becoming a "zero waste" city by 2020.
But one stumbling block in these early days of mandatory composting may be the fact that a lot of people simply don't know what to throw in their new green bins and what to throw in the trash. Or, to put it another way, what rots and what does not rot?
That's where Youth Radio has stepped in. Caitlin Grey, the Merv Griffin of compost-themed entertainment, has prodcued the following video to help you sort through your waste stream.
Additional credit goes to Nate Hadden for editing the video, and Nick Bellizi, Andrea Hill and Fernando Bustos for their on-screen talent. They say it best: "Join us next time on Rot... or... Not!?!"
