<p>
	Fort Worth has trash in its sights, and would like you get with the program — the composting program, that is.
</p>
<p>
	Recognizing that the city’s landfill was filling up with materials that could go elsewhere, Fort Worth has been seeking ways to divert materials that could be re-used, recycled, mulched, or composted.
</p>
<p>
	In 2019, the city <a target="_blank" href="https://fortworth.culturemap.com/news/city-life/05-07-19-fort-worth-new-residential-food-scraps-composting-program/" rel="noopener">launched</a> its innovative<br />
	<a target="_blank" href="https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/environmental-services/solidwaste/food-scrap-compost" rel="noopener noreferrer">Residential Food Waste Composting Program</a>, in which residents separate food scraps and bring them to drop-off points across Fort Worth.
</p>
<p>Food scraps might seem like a messy annoyance when you take out the garbage, but it’s a bigger problem for the environment than it is for your nose. The methane gas from decomposing food in landfills contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. It also contributes to air, water, and traffic and transport pollution because the food scraps have to be hauled away by garbage trucks.</p>
<p>
	Composting takes those scraps and transforms them into organic matter that can be put back into the ground as a rich soil nutrient.<br />
	</p>
<p>
	Back in 2014, an audit of the Fort Worth landfill revealed that 35 percent of contents could have been composted instead. This knowledge led city staffers to come up with an innovative solution, with a design based on a similar program in Minneapolis, to encourage and support residential composting.
</p>
<p>In addition to local funding from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the program is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. </p>
<p>Fort Worth currently has a total of 2,466 subscribers, who&#8217;ve donated a total of 144,201 pounds of food waste, keeping nutrient-rich food scraps and organic waste out of landfills.</p>
<p>Avery Pesek, a senior environmental planner with the city, and coordinator for Keep Fort Worth Beautiful, hopes to get that number close to 3,000 in 2024.</p>
<p>“We’ve found that the biggest barrier to entry in the program is people knowing about it,&#8221; Pesek says. &#8220;We are trying to get the word out about how easy and effective composting is to help Fort Worth.”</p>
<p><span></span>Fort Worth’s program was the first of its kind in North Texas; Plano launched a similar residential composting in 2023. (Houston began a composting program in 2021. San Antonio was a pioneer when it began a composting program in 2011, and Austin has been composting since 2013.)</p>
<p>Fort Worth subscribers pay a one-time $20 fee and are given a Composting Starter Kit, which includes a 5-gallon bucket with a lid, a smaller kitchen countertop pail that closes securely, and education materials.</p>
<p>
	“Two things I run into is a concern about odor and a concern about difficulty, but because it is a locking, closing bucket, there really isn’t a smell,&#8221; Pesek says.
</p>
<p>
	Once the bucket is full, residents can drop off the scraps at one of 21 collection sites, such as Fort Worth community centers, churches, and parks. Most offer 24-hour access points to make dropping off as convenient as possible.
</p>
<p>
	After dumping their compost, participants rinse their bucket at home and start again.
</p>
<p>
	“If your reference is backyard composting, you might think this is going to be more difficult than it is,” Pesek says. “You can put things into our buckets that you can’t put in a backyard compost.”
</p>
<p>
	For example, animal products. Most backyard composters add plant materials only, but the Fort Worth program takes any food scraps or leftovers, including cooked meats, bones, eggshells, baked goods, tea bags, coffee filters, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, including peels and pits.
</p>
<p>
	&#8220;The composting program was designed with the residential subscriber in mind, and we wanted to make sure we could accept products like cooked meat, dairy, egg shells, that traditional backyard composting is not able to handle,&#8221; Pesek says.<br />
	</p>
<p>
	They&#8217;re working with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/cowboycompost" rel="noopener">Cowboy Compost</a>, the Fort Worth waste management company founded by former FWSO maestro Miguel Harth-Bedoya that specializes in “zero-waste” through composting in restaurants, workplaces, sporting events, and private homes. (They also sell their own bagged compost.) Cowboy Compost transforms the scraps into material that can be used in gardens, landscaping, and construction projects.</p>
<p>
	Unacceptable items include raw meats, grease or oil, chewing gum, Styrofoam, plastic bags, diapers, microwave popcorn bags, frozen food packaging, and pet waste or cat litter. Additionally, any products that are recyclable or labeled biodegradable are also unacceptable for compost.
</p>
<p><span></span>Pesek says the program has consistently had a low level of contamination – less than 1 percent.
</p>
<p>
	&#8220;The people who are opting into the program are a really passionate group,&#8221; she says. &#8220;We’ve been shocked at how good they are at following the requirements.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
	According to the latest census, there are approximately 326,648 households in Fort Worth, making the current subscriber tally of 2,466 households less than 1 percent.
</p>
<p>But for now, Pesek has her eye on the 3,000 subscriber benchmark. One composter at a time.</p>

<p>Six of the 10 most expensive US metros for families<b> </b>are in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cost-of-living-in-california-cities-prices-housing-medical-energy-2023-8" rel="noopener">California</a>.</p>
<p>Business Insider looked at the monthly costs for households with two adults and two children from the Economic Policy Institute&#8217;s &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.epi.org/resources/budget/" rel="nofollow noopener">Family Budget Calculator</a>.&#8221; EPI assembled data from multiple sources and looked at several kinds of expenses a household may have.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Family Budget Calculator is constructed to determine the resources needed to generate a decent standard of living, one in which a family can afford the basic necessities,&#8221; a post from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.epi.org/publication/epis-family-budget-calculator/" rel="nofollow noopener">EPI</a> said.</p>
<p>BI looked at families where the parents are &#8220;employed, live together with their children, and jointly file federal income taxes.&#8221; There are assumptions about children&#8217;s ages too: &#8220;Families with two children are assumed to have a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old,&#8221; a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.epi.org/publication/family-budget-calculator-documentation/" rel="nofollow noopener">EPI post</a> said.</p>
<p>There are also some assumptions for the various expense<b> </b>categories, such as for healthcare. The budget calculator notes that these &#8220;expenses include insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and assume families purchase the lowest cost bronze plans on the health insurance exchange established under the Affordable Care Act.&#8221;</p>
<p>The EPI post about the calculator noted that data is for 2023 or when needed &#8220;inflated to 2023 dollars with the budget-item-appropriate inflator.&#8221;</p>
<p>San Francisco ranked No. 1 — or the most expensive among the metros analyzed by EPI — based on its monthly total cost of around $15,000. With a monthly cost of over $3,000 for housing, based on the cost of a two-bedroom apartment, this was the largest monthly expense among the seven categories for this area.</p>
<p>San Francisco wasn&#8217;t the only one with a large monthly housing expense compared to other expenses. Stamford-Norwalk, Connecticut, had a housing expense of $2,563 for a two-adult, two-child family, making it its largest monthly expense among the seven categories EPI focused on.</p>
<p>Other metros saw <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/providers-struggle-to-keep-funding-rising-childcare-costs-2023-9" rel="noopener">childcare</a> as the highest expense. Childcare was the largest monthly expense among the seven categories for Nassau-Suffolk, New York, for instance.</p>
<p>People may be finding it difficult to afford certain items. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/powell-60-minutes-interview-fed-interest-rate-cuts-before-election-2024-2" rel="noopener">Fed Chair Jerome Powell</a> said in a recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/full-transcript-fed-chair-jerome-powell-60-minutes-interview-economy/" rel="nofollow noopener">60 Minutes</a> interview that &#8220;if you think about the basic necessities&#8221; like bread and milk, &#8220;prices are substantially higher than they were before the pandemic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We think that&#8217;s a big reason why people are, have been relatively dissatisfied with what is otherwise a pretty good economy,&#8221; Powell said.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennial-gen-z-parents-struggle-lonely-childcare-costs-money-friends-2023-11" rel="noopener">Parents</a> and guardians also have to think about the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-expensive-cities-for-childcare-daycare-us-affordable-care-cost-2023-5" rel="noopener">cost</a> and type of <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com/?h=0b081a450a1573aeda205ebc81997574a9b91aa1e5ed1f88b67d2ec3f011f25f&amp;platform=browser&amp;postID=65c2566872404cb0557508b5&amp;postSlug=how-much-food-healthcare-housing-cost-most-expensive-us-cities-2024-2&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.care.com%2Fc%2Fhow-much-does-child-care-cost%2F%23how-much-does-child-care-cost" rel="nofollow sponsored noindex noopener">childcare</a> they need. For some people, childcare is a massive expense and could be larger than their other costs.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s almost like $2,000 more than our mortgage,&#8221; Paige Connell, who has four children, previously told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/costs-of-childcare-millennial-spends-5000-a-month-on-daycare-2023-6" rel="noopener">Business Insider</a>. &#8220;I mean, that is a pretty significant dollar amount for us. It is the thing that we pay the most money for, for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Below are the most expensive metros ranked based on the monthly total for two adults and two children according to EPI. The dollar amount next to the metro is the monthly total of the costs for this household.</p>

<p class="">After the start of the pandemic and the risks posed by working in person, the number of people working from home rose rapidly. According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2022/people-working-from-home.html" rel="noopener">Census Bureau</a>, <b>between 2019 and 2021, the number of people primarily working from home tripled from 5.7% (approximately 9 million people) to 17.9% (27.6 million people)</b>, according to the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS).</p>
<p class="">According to the survey results, <b>nearly half (48.3%) of workers in the District of Columbia worked from home</b>, the highest percentage of workers in US territories. In addition to the District of Columbia, the states with the highest percentage of remote workers were <b>Washington</b> (24.2%), <b>Maryland</b> (24.0%), <b>Colorado</b> (23.7%), and <b>Massachusetts</b> (23.7%).</p>
<p class="">In <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/brs1_03222023.pdf" rel="noopener">terms of industry</a>, in 2022, over two-thirds of those working in the <b>Information sector</b> were able to work remotely, followed by Professional and business services and Educational services, which both saw over half of workers teleworking. </p>
<p class="">Although many companies have returned to face-to-face work, many workers are seeking the option of remote work due to the advantages it has. <b>Many employers have struggled to demand that workers return to the office since their workforces showed that they can do their work productively from home</b>. </p>
<h3 class="">The best cities in the United States to work from home</h3>
<p class="">Rental search engines <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rent.com/blog/the-best-cities-for-remote-work/" rel="noopener">Rent.com</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.zumper.com/blog/best-cities-for-digital-nomads/" rel="noopener">Zumper</a> have released their rankings of the <b>top cities for remote workers or “digital nomads” in the United States.</b></p>
<p class="">Rent.com researchers analyzed the following data sets to make their recommendations for remote work-friendly cities:</p>
<figure class="ext ext-in">
<h2 class="ext-in__tl"></h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Average rent and year-over-year rent change</li>
<li>Internet access and average Internet speeds</li>
<li>Remote work population and number of coworking spaces</li>
</ul>
</div>
</figure>
<p class="">After adding together the median rental score, average Mbps score, lowest cost internet score, and percentage of remote workers score, <b>these came out as the ten best cities to work from home. </b></p>
<figure class="ext ext-in">
<h2 class="ext-in__tl"></h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Orlando, Florida</li>
<li>Austin, Texas</li>
<li>North Charleston, South Carolina</li>

<li>Columbus, Georgia</li>
<li>Atlanta, Georgia</li>
<li>Green Bay, Wisconsin</li>
<li>Houston, Texas</li>
<li>Raleigh, North Carolina</li>
<li>Appleton, Wisconsin</li>
</ul>
</div>
</figure>
<p class="">On the other hand, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.zumper.com/blog/best-cities-for-digital-nomads/" rel="noopener">Zumper</a> portal partnered with remote work author and former “digital nomad” Tamara Sanderson to determine her own list of top cities.<b> Zumper relied on the following factors:</b></p>
<figure class="ext ext-in">
<h2 class="ext-in__tl"></h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Short-term rental prices</li>
<li>Cost of Living</li>
<li>Distance to airport</li>
<li>Air quality</li>
<li>Availability of entertainment and restaurants</li>
<li>Transportation Options</li>
<li>Free Wi-Fi access</li>
</ul>
</div>
</figure>
<p class="">After adding the factors, <b>these were the ten best cities for remote work:</b></p>
<figure class="ext ext-in">
<h2 class="ext-in__tl"></h2>

<li>Columbus, Ohio</li>

<p>About 770 billionaires live in the United States, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.henleyglobal.com/publications/wealthiest-cities" rel="nofollow noopener">a new report on the world&#8217;s wealthiest cities</a> from London-based consulting firm Henley &amp; Partners.</p>
<p>There are just a handful of cities they love to call home — or at least park their private jets when they&#8217;re in town.</p>
<p>Three of the four biggest clusters of billionaires in the world are classic US destinations for the uberwealthy: New York City, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area, which includes the neighboring tech hubs of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Nearly 163 billionaires reside in those three hot spots alone.</p>
<p>Some of America&#8217;s richest residents, though, choose quieter cities for their home bases.</p>
<p>Comparably smaller Seattle, Washington boasts 10 billionaire residents, while Boston, Massachusetts claims eight.</p>
<p>And <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/where-people-moved-fastest-growing-american-cities-florida-utah-texas-2021-8" rel="nofollow noopener">one of America&#8217;s fastest-growing cities</a> — Austin, Texas — has emerged as a relatively new billionaire hot spot, counting nine as residents. Henley &amp; Partners said that &#8220;no state income tax and ample space&#8221; helps make the Texas capital a prime destination, especially as tech titans like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-austin-joe-rogan-biggest-boom-town-50-years-2021-2" rel="nofollow noopener">Elon Musk descend on the city</a>.</p>

<div id="MakeItRegularArticle-ArticleBody-5" data-module="ArticleBody" data-test="articleBody-1" data-analytics="MakeItRegularArticle-articleBody-5-1"><span class="HighlightShare-styles-makeit-hidden--MFwCR" style="top:0;left:0"></span></p>
<div class="group">
<p>Fewer people are working from home today compared with the last few years, but remote work is continuing to reshape major cities across the U.S.</p>
<p>Nationally, roughly 12% of job openings explicitly allow remote work at least one day a week, <a target="_blank" href="https://wfhmap.com/" rel="noopener">according to data from WFH Map</a>, a group of economists and researchers measuring the lasting impacts of remote work, and Lightcast, a labor-market analytics firm with access to online job postings across the nation.</p>
<p>But some major cities are offering far and away more flexibility for people to work remotely. The No. 1 U.S. city to find a job with remote flexibility is Lansing, Michigan, where as much as 39% of job descriptions explicitly say people can work from home as of February 2023. Close behind is Topeka, Kansas, where 32% of current job openings openly state they allow candidates to work remotely at least one day a week.</p>
<p>Here are the top 10 U.S. cities with the highest shares of job openings offering remote work, plus the share of remote openings in each city:</p>
<ol>
<li>Lansing, Mich.: 39%</li>
<li>Topeka, Kansas: 32%</li>
<li>San Francisco: 30%</li>
<li>Reston, Virginia: 30%</li>
<li>Ann Arbor, Mich.: 29%</li>
<li>Washington, D.C.: 27%</li>
<li>Salem, Oregon: 25%</li>
<li>McLean, Virginia: 25%</li>
<li>Chicago: 24%</li>
<li>Boston: 24%</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall, cities with a greater white-collar workforce, especially in government, tech and education, have the highest share of job ads offering remote or hybrid work arrangements, says Peter Lambert, a Ph.D. candidate at the London School of Economics and Political Science and member of the WFH Maps research team.</p>
<p>For example, Lansing, Topeka, D.C. and Salem are hubs for government roles and administrative work. Reston and McLean in Virginia are part of the Washington, D.C., metro area.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lambert says, San Francisco and Reston are both large tech markets, and Ann Arbor has a large pool of jobs across education and professional services jobs.</p>
<p>Markets with labor shortages and a high share of job vacancies are more likely to have openings that will allow remote work, compared with cities where hiring has returned to pre-pandemic levels.</p>
<p>Lambert says he expects this gap to widen in the future, and that more businesses will realize hybrid and remote work is the &#8220;new normal&#8221; and will &#8220;begin offering it explicitly to new hires in larger numbers throughout 2023.&#8221;</p>
<p>When compared with international counterparts, the share of remote job openings in the U.S. is similar to what&#8217;s being offered in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, hovering around 11% to 12%. The U.K., meanwhile, stands out with about 18% of jobs open to remote work as of February.</p>

<p>As of January, 13% of full-time U.S. workers are fully remote, 28% are in a hybrid arrangement, and a majority, 59%, are back in the office full-time, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://wfhresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/WFHResearch_updates_February2023.pdf" rel="noopener">data from WFH Research</a>, the research group studying attitudes and behaviors around remote work throughout the pandemic.</p>
