As a person who’s been raised in urban areas, I am always baffled by the amount of food waste we produce. Just picture the mounds of garbage lying next to residential neighborhoods around us and we get a picture of the kind of problem we face. Food waste (and food scraps) are posing a great solid waste problem in many cities and towns. Most waste collection companies only end up dumping the waste in unregulated landfills which have become another health hazard by themselves.

For a lot of folks, September brings to mind the end of summer, the time to go back to school and get back into the swing of work and home routines, and of course the classic Earth, Wind & Fire song. But not for me. For California power grid experts, September is a nerve-wracking month, still very much part of danger season on the West Coast. At any point in the summer, extreme heat could trigger electricity supply shortages and rotating power outages.
