An Associated Press (AP) article written by Jay Lindsay that appeared in over 100 print and online papers including the Portland Press Herald, Boston.com, the Huffington Post, the Deseret News, the NWI Times and the Twin Cities Pioneer Press on June 12th, 2012 addressed the Japanese, but little known in the U.S., method of dealing with food waste called Bokashi.
- Excerpt:
Vandra Thorburn, who runs a business in which she provides and collects bokashi buckets from about 50 customers around Brooklyn, said she’s making it her personal mission to get bokashi listed by the EPA. Contrary to concerns that cities don’t have space for bokashi, she said the unobtrusive method produces soil that could fill community gardens or revitalize worn or contaminated soils around the city.
