New Toxic Sludge PR and Lobbying Effort Gets Underway | Common Dreams

New Toxic Sludge PR and Lobbying Effort Gets Underway | Common Dreams
"A trade association known for using the terms "compost," "organic," and "biosolids" to describe sewage sludge is investing in a new public relations campaign to influence policymakers and the public. The US Composting Council (USCC), which was founded by the disposable diaper industry, will be expanding its long-standing efforts to "rebrand" sewage sludge, which is increasingly disposed of on agriculture crops and through garden centers without telling the public that their food is being grown in medical, industrial, and human waste."
