[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This is a classic example of why we’ll never actually make any progress with energy efficiency and carbon emissions. Our lives just continue to become more energy intensive (and expensive). [/b]

Instead of placing food waste into an inexpensive outdoor bin that uses zero electricity to make compost, we now manufacture a plastic and metal appliance that requires electricity to do the same thing.  And it’s being sold as something that’s “green!”

That thing holds a tiny amount of waste. I can’t imagine how many 4 hour cycles it would take to replace an average sized compost bin.

I’m not even one who is panicked about climate change, and this makes me think we’re doomed. [/quote]

I don’t live in DC so I had to look it up; it looks like you don’t have curbside composting yet but you can pay for private composting. Instead of spending $500 on something that uses energy (and probably needs something like filters), just put your compost in your freezer and take it to the curb once a week. My yard has way too many pests to do backyard composting, but we pay for curbside composting. [/quote]
