I learned a bit about hauling compost, and about composting businesses. There was a city wide ordinance in 2018 that means composting for all residences. Apartments count as commercial buildings, though, so there's plenty of trash makers that don't have to compost.
Black soldier flies or something. They can eat animal parts and make larvae that can then be fed to pigs. But, the process is akin to feeding animals to animals, which can spread diseases like mad cow.
Also, I learned that chicken shit is worth more than compost.
and, there are 1.4 million homes in Austin.
there were a few things about "environmental justice" that sounded like nimby type things. Not sure how well put together this article was, but I learned a lot.
