I, for one, am very, very suspicious of links to unknown places. Can you not post those questions here? I don't click on links esp from unknown people.

Hi,

I understand you concern, but I assure you this is not a dangerous link. We are using Google Surveys to collect the data so we can store it for later study. This is the link below if you'd like to copy paste it into your address bar yourself. We would really appreciate you taking the time to answer a few questions!! :)

<We would really appreciate you taking the time to answer a few questions!! :)> You never answered the question.

<Can you not post those questions here?>

Great that you're doing this and I hope it works out.

For some reason it wouldn't go to page 2 for me after the video played.

Couple of comments on the video though:

"This was all until Green Dirt was created" makes it sound like you're saving the whole world from food waste already. How about "Green Dirt was established to fight this problem" or something along those lines.

"We don't use mushrooms"? I guess you mean mushroom substrate. Most people don't know how mushrooms are grown, and will only be confused by the suggestion that other composts are made of mushrooms. I would put more emphasis on 'diverting waste from the landfill'.

"Self-sufficient" seems awkward. Perhaps 'sustainable' would be a better term.

Best of luck to you! We need more of this.

PS The idea is not brand new. Lots of companies are making food waste compost all over the country, including one 20 miles from me called Bluebird, and one that my sister worked on in Columbus OH called Eartha.

Think you'll find that most people here would like your idea of diverting food wastes from landfills but that's what most of us are already doing albeit on a much smaller scale.

In my home town there is weekly collection of all compostable materials which goes to a large composting facility. Scraps are put out curb-side in a designated container and collected on the same day as regular garbage pick-up. But much more needs to be done to facilitate composting of organic wastes from much larger sources like grocery stores, restaurants etc.

@Lloyd Thank you for taking our survey! We intend to be the collection and composting facility :)

@toxcrusadr Thank you so much for your feedback! We greatly appreciate it!

@harry757 Thank you for your feedback and support! You have given us some great insight!

Food waste is certainly the next biggest thing in America's trash can after you get all the 'traditional' recyclables out.

What research into what others are doing along these lines have you done?
