Heine Brothers: Environmental Stewards

So, do they HAVE to put the "Worm Compost" at the counter where I buy my morning coffee and bagel?

From the Breaking New Grounds website

In 2006, 14 compost bins were built and 21,000 pounds of coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit waste, cardboard, straw, coffee chaff, and woodchips were composted. After twelve weeks, the materials in a compost bin break down enough to feed to the 60,000 worms in our vermicomposting operation. Once the worms ingest this material and excrete it, it becomes vermicompost, a rich soil additive with significant nutritional, disease-suppressing and water-holding capabilities.

I'm sorry, but worm excrement so close to my food freaks me out. I still go there, but I try not to pay attention.

I hope the compost does not resemble coffee grounds so much that the old switcheroo could happen on a busy morning. . . just sayin'.
