@Gorgritch_umie_killa what should we call this please… can we know why it looked like this??
Hmm, not sure what you trying to ask…
Might be a technical issue between mastodon and lemmy if the link or article aren’t showing properly. If thats the case, maybe copy the URL and access the article via a search engine.
If you’re interested in what FOGO is, its an acronym, Food Organics Garden Organics. More information can be found here

@Gorgritch_umie_killa sorry I had not linked in … I have read and understood it now . Thank you
Theres still problems in the system, like are the bags being used truly compostable, or are they just breaking down into microplastics. I think theres still community confusion over the differences, and not much education on how to differentiate the types of FOGO bags.
Our council gives us the replacement bags for free, which is great–But, in practice it hasn’t been smooth sailing. The bags disintegrate in a few hours if they’re in close proximity with anything slightly moist, to the point I’ve noticed many people stopped using the bags and dump their FOGO waste directly into their green waste bin. This is a problem in itself, because while the green bins are now supposed to be collected weekly, it appears they’re not.
This is a big one. I know people who are very precise about getting the right compostable bags into the fogo, the ones with the same category as those that the government sends you via mail (which aren’t enough). But most people -myself included, before knowing the difference - think any biodegradable bag is the same.
