      <![CDATA[The curbside pilot in SI isn't about Bloomberg or DSNY making an effort to expand composting, it's a three card monty to ease SIers and elected officials (most who have been kept in the dark by technocrats) to the idea of re-importing "waste", which DSNY has illegally been doing with material collected from farmers markets in boroughs other than Staten Island for over a year now. While SI deserves green initiatives just as much as any other borough, this top-down, "we know better than you" approach that is a signature trait of many NYC administrations does very little to empower communities to take composting into their own hands.<br>
<br>
Also, the author states that SI is the least "green" borough, which may be valid if measured by the number of residents that are convinced of their own self-righteous accomplishments in achieving a smaller environmental footprint (Brooklyn and Manhattan would probably be contenders for the top spot).

      <![CDATA[I am sick and tired of this holier-than-thou attitude regarding Staten Island coming from people who clearly know little to nothing about the community or the people who live here. Staten Island is an incredibly diverse borough.
