County's Infuriating Reason Shuts Down Woman's Thriving Small Business

Palm Beach County in Florida has made commercial worm composting illegal, claiming ownership of residents' trash. This has forced Let It Rot, a local worm farm and community composting business, to shut down. Vermicomposting, the process used by Let It Rot, offers a safe and eco-friendly method for managing organic waste, producing highly fertile worm poop as an alternative to conventional fertilizers. The county's incineration of waste causes air pollution and releases toxic gases. Concerned citizens can sign a Change.org petition to urge the county to reconsider its policy and practice vermicomposting in their own backyards.
