So they’re gonna send me $20,000 for the premiums on my bronze coverage this year? How about the additional $10,000 to give birth and get baby’s and my basic healthcare for the year (assuming an entirely routine birth)?

Would love it if they did that, but the number of “devout” Christians who have NO idea what their own lord and savior taught is amazing. They just eat up whatever their angry Fox News-parroting pastor rants about, or else leave the church bc a pastor who only teaches the word is “too progressive”.

If a green-ass major city couldn’t make it make sense I have exactly zero faith my small red-state city that struggled for years losing money on basic recycling is going to manage it. But sure, gonna campaign for composting when my basic rights, access to healthcare, etc are being lost. Let it go~

Most municipalities don’t offer that service. Mine doesn’t. When I lived in a major city that did it was unavailable to us because it required you to set out a special bin, which our complex wouldn’t allow. So for most people it comes down to disposal or trash, and disposal often comes out on top.

A lot of those don’t truly compost, and $400 isn’t, uh, accessible. Nor was my community garden across a dangerous road. I do vermicomposting now but it can’t handle full volume and raccoons make a mess of my compost by digging up and throwing scraps all over. So we still use the disposal a good bit

Obviously. But that isn’t an option for many people (say, apartment dwellers). If your municipality will be capturing the methane from water treatment for use as energy, that’s better than letting it gas off into the atmosphere from a landfill.

Most municipalities in the US don’t offer a way to separate waste types; everything goes to a landfill. Some do methane capture from wastewater plants though, and sometimes use biosolids from the process as fertilizer. So for many here, it really is a better option.

I believe sending food waste down the tubes is very often better for the environment than sending it to a landfill in a plastic bag because anaerobic decomposition in the landfill creates a great deal more methane.
