US gov going organic
The General Services Administration…”helps federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at best value, superior workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services, and management policies. On April 30th the EPA reported that the GSA has begun using organic fertilizer on the grounds of all its federal buildings in the National Capital Region.
GSA is using 100-percent organic pelletized chicken manure at 64 sites, covering 84 acres. The poultry litter is being collected by a private company and converted to usable organic fertilizer – then transported by truck to the region, and properly applied at the GSA properties.
This is the agency that tells other federal agencies how to do a better job. Wonder what they’re serving in their cafeteria?
