      Waste disposal is a weirdly American thing. That’s why when you go on holiday and chuck your food down the drain like a special-needs kid discovering toilet roll for the first time, you have to phone people like me to fix it for you

        weird, it’s common where I live (Poland, Europe)

        edit: common may be an exaggeration, I could probably list like 5 or 6 homes of my family members and close friends which do have it

        edit2: oh we also have Fairy so this may as well be in Poland lol

        edit3: the label in the photo is in English so it’s unlikely

        Where I live in the UK, food is placed in a compostable bag which are taken away weekly. They turn it into energy. Way better than blending it and putting down the drain.

          Fun fact, burning biomass is not very good as far as emissions go. In the US waste water treatment byproducts are typically methane and fertilizer, both bottled and sold. a much better place for all that carbon, imo.
