What about factors involving the type of organic matter along with temperature etc? According to the scientists who did the study, you are wrong and there are health risks from storing organic matter inside of a home for composting. I was curious to see reactions from environmentalists about the health risks involving things that they like, such as composting. And of course, these are the same people who will play chicken little and scream loudly about things they don't like. Don't you think we need some government regulations and standards involving composting to protect the public? Maybe warnings on all composting materaial and bins and literature etc.?
