EKO -STYLED COMPOST USED SAFELY FOR DECADES
It is good to question everything that goes on around us, but the hype that is going on regarding the compost at Maui EKO is plain silly.
Doing research on composting, I found that this type of compost has been made all over the United States for decades. Sewage sludge compost is a highly tested product which has to follow strict guidelines, and if not done properly, yes it can create problems. But according to what I read in the paper, Maui EKO has been doing everything properly and has not been found to have any problems associated with it.We coat our foods with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. We are tinkering with, the genetics in what we eat. We use hundreds of poisons in our homes every day.
We let our kids play on pristine lawns that had poisons sprayed on them for weeds. We fill our cars with gasoline that is known to pollute the air we breathe while we stand by letting its toxins fill our lung. We know, without a doubt, that these things are bad for us, yet most people disregard them anyway.
Yes, the future might find that sewage sludge compost causes "tallness" just like eating bananas might make "your hair yellow," but right now, today, you don't need to worry that the soil under the grass in the park your kid plays in used compost that was made with some doo-doo.
