True, I was being hyperbolic (oof, the pun material is just too good). But the organics pretty much take of themselves, leaving behind just the bits we might want to reuse. Of course, we could be composting the organics and reusing them now, my city does that, though they give the compost away to any takers, which suggests the economics are still a work in progress.
