Not a good idea.
Metro Vancouver will be composting kitchen scraps. While the idea is good in principle, it's going to fail because of one basic fact: PEOPLE ARE STUPID. They are going to put stuff in there that shouldn't go in there, and our vermin population is going to skyrocket. Oh, and the city's going to stink, too.
Oh, and Vancouverites are particularly stupid. Take this one woman that I saw cycling on the path between the convention centre and Stanley Park. Please. How many stupid things can one count here?
- She was riding her bike on the pedestrian side of the path, where there are runners and walkers and little kids.
- She wasn't wearing a helmet.
- She was carrying a baby (unhelmeted) in a cloth sling while riding her bike on the wrong side of the path.
D'OH!
