Alyssa Brodsky learned how to “cook” compost for maximum agricultural effect in Madagascar when she was in the Peace Corps. “Where I grew up in Illinois, we always had a compost pile.”
Wasting away in foodville
With all respect to the article “Can Edco get San Diego to cut food waste in half?” (Cover Stories, March 24) I believe that food waste should not be allowed. The reason I say this is because this food can be used to help the homeless. In different cities we can find a homeless person who does not have enough money to purchase food. Homeless people struggle to have a meal and by donating unused foods to them it can be a big support. A high amount of food is being thrown away.
