Le compostage collectif urbain à l'épreuve de ses interdits

Urban community composting is on the rise in large French cities. In Strasbourg (Alsace), neighborhood or private groups organize composting initiatives, encouraged by local policies and supervised by local authorities. The residents in charge decide and enforce the rules for composting locally. Inc...
