Rebekah -
Where exactly did you point out that the majority of composting facilities are handling yard waste, food waste, and any inputs besides sewage sludge? Sorry if I missed it, but the pervasive tone throughout the article does a disservice to the USCC to paint it as the sewage sludge industry trade group. While that serves your purpose - which is clearly NOT to inform, but rather provoke.

I am not in favor of sewage sludge land application and was happy to hear that Kellogg's discontinued the inclusion of sewage sludge in any of their products last year. You may want to do some fact-checking prior to publishing your "article". That is not my responsibility as a reader.

I am not suggesting that there is not substantial risk from the use of sewage sludge, however, when properly composted, that risk is significantly reduced or eliminated.

Nowhere on your wiki site did I find any studies identifying these constituents of concern in composted material, only about Type A and Type B sludge.

Like Fox News, you seem to purport that you have been "fair and balanced", which is clearly not the case.

On a positive note, many thanks are due to the hundreds of composters (who are sewage sludge free)participating in this program that you have besmirched so dismissively.
