Fascinating and disturbing post on Hullabaloo about San Francisco giving our “organic: soil amendments that are really toxic sludge, and encouraging its use in veggie gardens. If you read it, be sure to look at the comments. It’s a knowledgeable crowd. Even if you are not living and gardening in the Bay Area, this is worth a look.
I wonder if this society is capable of living respectfully on the earth, or if the ethic that encourages heavy metas in vegetable gardens and torture in dealing with opponents has penetrated too deeply into the national soul.
