Composting your kitchen waste may be gross on the front end, but that's just the reason kids will take to it; and with a gizmo like the $209 RolyPig -- a swine-shaped composter that "poops" out beneficial garden compost 12 to 15 weeks after first gobbling your scraps -- kids won't be able to resist going green.
If you're an urban dweller, RolyPig gives you extra incentive to start composting: It's compact and movable (you turn it on the spot every three weeks), and its completely enclosed, odor- and pest-free body is designed to circumvent cities' open-compost-pile ordinances. A RolyPig insulating blanket is in the works, but if you keep it covered during the colder months and aim it at the winter sun, you'll have a sweet pile of black gold ready for the garden come spring.
