Calaveras County, CA...According to Earth911.com, the EPA estimates that 24% of the U.S. municipal solid waste is composed of food remnants and yard trimmings. If we all did our part to compost instead of throwing these materials in the trash, a large portion of everyday waste could be recovered for reuse. And that’s good for all of us! Here’s a few things you may not have considered for your composting efforts.

One for the actual suspects in the stolen vehicle and the second chasing the owner of the stolen vehicle chasing the stolen vehicle....
