Portland is testing a food scrap/composting system for residential areas of the city. While we have lagged behind some of our other Cascadia neighbors, we are hoping for a curbside composting system that will rival Seattle! Only 2,000 participants will be involved in the first pilot, but results from a 2007 public survey showed strong support for the program.

Biomass now considered best in Biochar which gives soil amendment and oil for future. Washington State just received huge funds for support of programs developing both for future.
Where is Oregon’s political clout? http://bit.ly/bPOHhZ Site takes you to DNR release.
