WHAT IT SHOWS: USA. San Francisco, CA. 2013. Recycle Central, the recycling plant Recology operates in San Francisco to sort bottles, cans, and paper. Last month, the millionth ton of food scraps, coffee grounds and soiled paper from San Francisco's mandatory composting program returned to residents' dinner tables in the form of fresh, organic foods grown by local farmers using the city's nutrient-rich compost as fertilizer.
