Fifteen years ago whether your household recycled its Diet Coke cans and Cheerios boxes, you were considered environmentally forward. Now, whether you do not compost, you are considered lazy and wasteful.

In a city where recycling and composting are at your fingertips and events such as Green Drinks and EcoTuesday are at the forefront of social calendars, residents of San Francisco are well aware of environmental issues and sustainability. Now, environmental initiatives are clearly entering the workplace.

Composting is a great way to cut down on what goes into your trash can (and next to the dreaded landfill), but it plus produces something pretty cool, particularly for those environmentally aware: extremely nutrient rich soil. Until fairly recently, composting was a labor-intensive process. The compost had to be collected (smelly banana peels, old coffee grounds, the moldy pizza left in the fridge from a month ago) and piled up outdoors.
