Composting As Animal Husbandry – Moving Way Beyond Recycling

Posted on December 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off

Image credit: Sami Grover I was observing the heat rising from my compost heap this morning, the one inspired by my review of Gene Logsdon’s guide to managing manure , when I was struck by a particular insight—what I was actually witnessing was the cumulative body heat of billions upon billions of tiny little beasties.

Obama suggests value-added tax may be an option

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama suggested Wednesday that a new value-added tax on Americans is still on the table, seeming to show more openness to the idea than his aides have expressed in recent days. Before deciding what revenue options are best for dealing with the deficit and the economy, Obama said in an interview with CNBC, “I want to get a better picture of what our options are.” “I think I directly answered this the other day by saying that it wasn't something that the president had under consideration,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters shortly before Obama spoke with CNBC.
