pFood is completely compostable, yet we throw it out all the time. That’s a damned shame because once it goes into landfill, it mixes with the other crap in there and turns into a toxic stew of cheese-topped keyboards and plastic bags filled with rotting meat./p

pThis is a huge problem. Food, along with paper, makes up about half of all landfill–New Yorkers alone throw out about two pounds of food per person per day, once you factor in all the restaurants–and food is the #1 least recycled material according to the EPA. /p

pTo do my part for the environment, last year I began looking into composting, which can be tough whether you live in the city or country; it requires a vermin-resistant facility of a certain temperature consistency, not to mention the discipline to regularly agitate the mix and/or maintain a worm population, if you go that route. In short, composting is not an easy option for the time-pressed./p

pSo I was very excited to review A HREF=”http://www.naturemill.com/products.html” NatureMill’s Automatic Compost Bin/A, which promises to turn food into dirt with very little hassle–indoors and in a space-considerate way, which is important to us urban dwellers with tight apartments. In the first few weeks I was surprised at how easy the process was; I then decided to do a long-term review, covering six months of usage, to see if it continued to be easy or if unanticipated problems would crop up. /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/living_with_product_review_naturemills_automatic_compost_bin_is_a_miracle_machine_16668.asp”(more…)/a
