Domestic activities, industry and agriculture cause water pollution in Sri Lanka. Rivers and lakes are most affected by pollutants. Pollutants that end up in lakes are sewage, vegetable waste and waste from hospitals. The pollution of lakes in Sri Lanka leads to algal blooms, which reduces the oxygen content and has negative consequences on fish populations.

Vegetable waste being dumped in a market in Hyderabad, India. Biogas captured from biodegradable green waste can be used as biofuel. Green waste can be composed of non-food crops, which decompose to produce cellulosic ethanol. It can also help reduce the necessity of petroleum gases, which produce large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, when burned.

Syritta pipiens goes through three adolescent stages – eggs, larvae, and puparia – followed by the fourth life stage of the adult. Larvae develop in moist and rotting organic matter, so different stages of the fly have been found variously in the manures of cows, horses, and guinea pigs, in human waste and decaying heaps of vegetable waste, and in garden compost.

It can handle all types of bio-degradable waste like food waste, floral and vegetable waste, garden waste, cow dung and paper waste. The non vegetarian food items can also be used. However they take longer time to decompose which could produce poor smell. The dry waste like glass, thermocol, plastic, rubber or likewise which does not decompose cannot be used in the process.

In 1989, after a trial on the balcony a fermenter of 20 cubic meters was developed. He founded in 1991, funded by the Canton of Zurich, the company Kompogas, which produces biogas and compost from vegetable waste. Schmid first had to prevail against numerous politicians to get green waste. As early as 2005, the Handelszeitung wrote that rising energy prices would help in the future for such projects.

Pests such as rodents and flies are attracted by certain materials and odors, usually from large amounts of kitchen waste, particularly meat. Eliminating the use of meat or dairy product in a worm bin decreases the possibility of pests. Predatory ants can be a problem in African countries. In warm weather, fruit and vinegar flies breed in the bins if fruit and vegetable waste is not thoroughly covered with bedding.

The larva feeds on vegetable waste. It has been found in leguminous pods, castor oil seeds, coffee beans, milo grain, old corn silk, cotton bolls, aloe, banana, cherries, eggplant, pineapple fruit and seeds, tamarind, Crassula, and other plants such as torrid panicgrass (Panicum torridum), rain tree (Albizia saman), and Oahu soapberry (Sapindus oahuensis). The larva pupates for 11 to 13 days in a whitish cocoon amongst its frass. The pupa is 4 to 5 millimeters long, smooth, and light yellowish brown.

It also contributed about $3.5 billion in tax revenues at the local, state, and federal levels. In recent years, there has been criticism about the production of ethanol fuel from food crops. However, second generation biofuels are now being produced from a much broader range of feedstocks including the cellulose in dedicated energy crops (perennial grasses such as switchgrass and Miscanthus giganteus), forestry materials, the co-products from food production, and domestic vegetable waste. Produced responsibly they are sustainable energy sources that need not divert any land from growing food, nor damage the environment.

About two thirds of the property is devoted to flowers and one third to vegetables and herbs. Gardeners maintain and use the greenhouse at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine to raise almost all the flowers planted out at the garden, and coordinate the work load and donate plants to the Cathedral gardens, the Broadway Mall Gardeners, Riverside Park gardeners, the 111th Street garden and other neighborhood gardens. In the gated vegetable garden area near West 90th Street, there are 87 individual vegetable beds,6 school class plots, a berry patch and a rose garden. There are also community compost bins by the "Compost Gate" where neighbors may deposit their coffee grounds and other vegetable waste.

Second generation biofuels are now being produced from the cellulose in dedicated energy crops (such as perennial grasses), forestry materials, the co-products from food production, and domestic vegetable waste. Advances in the conversion processes will almost certainly improve the sustainability of biofuels, through better efficiencies and reduced environmental impact of producing biofuels, from both existing food crops and from cellulosic sources.Sustainable biofuels: prospects and challenges p. 2. Lord Ron Oxburgh suggests that responsible production of biofuels has several advantages: > Produced responsibly they are a sustainable energy source that need not > divert any land from growing food nor damage the environment; they can also > help solve the problems of the waste generated by Western society; and they > can create jobs for the poor where previously were none.
