City chicks

Today I went to the Live Green Expo, which was about two blocks from my house. And yes, I took a car. The keynote speaker was Joel Salatin, the farmer featured in the movie Food, Inc. He gave us this tidbit. From the book City Chicks:

The chicken biomass converter and waste diversion strategy is exactly what the city of Diest in Flanders, Belgium is using to reduce their refuse management budget. Because chickens process food and yard waste, by giving 3 laying hens to 2,000 households, the city of Diest is using chickens as an economical solution to the costly problem of recycling biomass trash. Recycling biodegradable trash costs the city about $600,000 annually, and city officials expect to save a significant amount of that expense using personal poultry power. The chickens’ production of eggs, compost, topsoil, and fertilizer are spin-off added benefits.
