Oprah Loves Composting…

http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/06/19/oprahs-earth-day-compost-bin-can-now-be-yours/ I realize I'm super late, I only just found this article. Now I'm not an Oprah follower, but I understand why most people like her. I've only seen parts of her show just a few times, and she's very likable. However, Oprah doesn't seem likeable to composting. Come on, Oprah...can you just fake it a little better so millions more people will really do it? Man, I wish I had the influence that Oprah did.

From utilizing tons of underbrush that he shreds to a specific size of 1" x 1/16" slivers, he is able to heat his own water and collect methane to power his house and car. I highly doubt this guy leaves his work unattended, but I can't help but think of what the local authorities think about him and his fire risk to the local woodlands!
