I wanted to pass along this great article by Bill McKibben I found in the Christian Century. It's about a community close to Stockholm that is virtually waste free. I like the idea of putting my bananna peels in a pneumatic tube that whooshes them away into some community compost pile. That sounds like a lot of fun. It reminds me of the laundry shoot that my friend Brandon and I used to send our He-men down at his house. That's why I wanted to live in a two story house--so I could have a luandry shoot. So far, the dream remains a dream.

The Joyland Amusement Park in Wichita, KS had a pneumatic trash system. They receptacles were shaped like a pig's head and you put the trash into the mouth.
