Seattle is probably one of those places- you choose to olive there, you probably belong there.

I would be ashamed NOT to have the red tag.
Absence of a red tag means you are a mindless sheep who would do anything the government says. Compost my coffee grounds? Why, I would love to, sir! Take the Jews to the gas chamber? Jah vol main herr!

Put a couple of pigs in the back yard. No more problems.
oh, wait
When I was young and dumb, my village made a rule that all garbage bags must be clear, see through plastic. Rationale now explained.
Older and wise now.

When I lived on an acreage we BURNED all our trash in a pit next to the chicken coop. The horrors!

Some of us were born here and had reached middle-age by the time it became what it is now.

“So too is allowing it to sit out in the open, where it produces methane, one of the most harmful greenhouses gases, as it rots.
Um, doesn’t composting it do basically the same thing? Decomposing bacteria is decomposing bacteria, in a trash can or a compost heap.
“The second largest component of landfills in the United States is organic waste, and landfills are the single largest source of methane gas.”
And many landfills harvest that gas to provide energy for the landfill and nearby areas. (Learned that one on Penn and Tellers’ show “Bullbleep!”)

Silent truce? Bureaucrats, especially totalitarian minded ones like Rodney Watkins don't give up easily.. Since when did we give this small minded fan of Kim Jong-un the right to say what 'wasted food' is?

I’d be a slinging me some trash at some public officials houses. Better yet embarrass the Iron Fisted Tyrants even more by just taking it out and dumping it in the streets somewhere. Let them guess where it all came from.

So, instead of telling your Kids to take out the Trash, hand them a Shovel and tell them to go bury it.

I’ve composed and deleted three replies and all of them would land me in..... deep, cold, coastal waters, down deep where the crab feed.

Oh man, the possibilities are endless! Fake body parts, really stinky food designed to induce upchucking(I’m thinking a nice, ripe durian with a balut topping will do the trick), etc.

I still burn most of my combustibles. I compost food scraps, dryer lint, some paper plates and paper towels. Take the newspapers and magazines to the schools paper drive.
I only have about 1 white kitchen garbage bag of trash every month or two. Toss that in the dumpster at my favorite watering hole.
