A lot of crap, right? The average person tosses four pounds of trash a day. But get this: An eco-friendly couple in Oregon created just four pounds of trash over 365 days. They decided to go debris-free for an entire year, and through recycling, buying locally grown food, and composting, they accumulated around 75 pieces of small trash during that time. Crazy.

It’s gross, you say. I live in a city, you sigh. The time for excuses is over. Thanks to Planet Green, there’s the City Girl’s Guide to Composting – but don’t worry, it works for non-urban types, too. First you need to decide what kind of composting you want to do. Worm composting is good if you’re short on space (and don’t mind worms, obviously); hot composting is good if you’re a real go-getter and are willing to put a little more work into composting while reaping a more satisfying reward; and cold composting is good if you’d like a low-maintenance approach. You just dump the scraps into a bucket and let them s...

(Ever met a five-year-old who didn’t like worms?) But when it comes to storing rotten food in or near the house, we prefer to keep things under good-looking, odor-free wraps. So whether you’re transferring your slop to a garden or just being ecologically mindful indoors, here are five comely compost containers that we would allow to live in our kitchens. Ceramic Compost Pail from Williams Sonoma This low-profile bucket is small (one gallon) and keeps compost from smelling funky with replaceable charcoal filters. Its ceramic material and white finish definitely up a kitchen’s chic-quotient. Just don’t mistake it for the cookie jar. ($32) Bamboo Compost ...

Reports MSNBC: Trash collectors in San Francisco will soon be doing more than just gathering garbage: They’ll be keeping an eye out for people who toss food scraps out with their rubbish. San Francisco this week passed a mandatory composting law that is believed to be the strictest such ordinance in the nation. Residents will be required to have three color-coded trash bins, including one for recycling, one for trash and a new one for compost — everything from banana peels to coffee grounds. The law makes San Francisco the leader yet again in environmentally friendly measures, following up on other green initiatives such as bannin...
