| Summary: | Swiss authorities are becoming stricter and stricter about imposing the sorting out of domestic waste, the prepaid bin bags as well as the handling of organic leftovers whose organised recycling begins in a closed circuit with the use of worms (Eisenia fetida et Eisenia andrei). These creatures are highly respected guests in city centre and suburban housing, where their small homes named « vermicompost containers », « vermicompostors » are found. Fed and raised with care, these worms produce fertile soil and has become unthinkable to dispose of. The results of anthropological fieldwork shed light on this new urban production involving the organisation of new technical know-how, new solidarity, and new ways of experiencing nature in a city environment. |
