But the most significant change in modern science is not just about the amount of noise, but how we experience it. Noise is no longer understood solely as a problem that affects hearing, it is also recognised as a systemic environmental pollutant. Transport noise is now one of the leading environmental cause of illness in Europe, second only to air pollution.

Most of my neighbors bag it up and put it in the trash.

We throw ours in a ditch which I think is technically illegal for some stupid reason but I'll be damned if I'm using a plastic bag for organic waste that I could just kinda.. leave there.

    Composting isn't bad, but most ditches exist to manage water. I've dealt with the fallout of shifting water tables and clogged culverts. Maybe find a better place to dump the clippings. Or just start a compost pile. They're not tough, just water and stir it every so often.
