They never said to do it inside the house.
What idiot would compost in the house anyway. Rotting anything in the
house is a hazard I would think. Please don't blame lack of common sense
on environmentalist or the user fees for recycling. Bottom line it is
the right thing to do. 
My only worry is if we all do it there won't be any organic waste to
help break down what does go into the land fills. hum

Don't you think we need some government regulations and standards
involving composting to protect  the public.

No, government regulation isn't the answer.

Maybe warnings on all composting materaial and bins and literature etc.? 
Yes educate educate is the best and usually the cheapest method for any
change. Not MORE rules that have cost associated with them to
administer. We are always trying to legislate common sense. It can't be
done and cost to much, because there will always be fools out there
