Vermont compost and Intervale compost need your help. Both progressive compost facilities here in Vermont are under attack by our state government. click these links for more information: http://vermontcompost.com/ and http://www.reformer.com/ci_9956614?source=most_emailed.
Please call or write to our stupid Governor and tell him you support our composting facilities and he should cease and disist in his actions to close them down.
Oh ya, did I mention that the governors brother in lawn happens to own the competitors composting facility in Middlebury and that in Vermont we have a company called Omya. The state is applying uneven "justice" in this instance. By refusing to allow VCC's first appeal to be considered before imposing the cease and desist the state denied due process. If Vermonters are to follow the laws, why doesn't state have a responsibility to apply consistent enforcement measures? OMYA has been operating in violation of the law, has been proven to pollute neighbors' wells with arsenic and manganese but has been allowed them to keep operating. VCC's environmental and neighborhood impact cannot even be compared to that of OMYA, yet here they are with the C&D.
Call or write governor douglas today: http://governor.vermont.gov/index.shtml
Don't let them bully you because you 're contacting them from out of state. You buy these products from us all the time and it matters to you that we can continue to provide them to you and environmental issues are not local. They effect everyone. John

We moved. Amazingly, we're still on Dog Team Road in Vermont! 1195 Dog Team Road to be exact. We moved to a much larger piece of land with a solar, earth bermed house for yours truly to live in as a carbon neutral citizen and a larger consolidated space to store our organic products and get them out to you even faster than before.
Trouble is, thanks to all of you we'll probably have to move again next year to keep up with all the demand for what we're doing. 2008 looks like another banner year and it's gratifying to see so many green businesses doing well. It means we're all going in the right direction together.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! John
