52. In typical fashion, you fail on every single counter point CreekDog and you have no business griping

The chair may or may not be broken, it might be something she sits on while doing a chore or it may be in a pile of things to recycle. FAIL

Containers are found on all farm and are not always in use, or might be in queue for recycling. FAIL

Chicago's system is old, 1856. It's not like yours and mine where we treat waste at plants and storm run off goes into waterways. Chicago has a combined system and only in the event of high rains does the water exceed the city's ability to treat it. You said everything goes into local water bodies. FAIL

BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS because her waste doesn't go into storm drains or sewers, it percolates into the soil and it's harmless in any event. SUPER DUPER SCIENCE FAIL!!!

Her form of agriculture is green, it's a shame you don't know your subjects here. KNOWLEDGE FAIL

A reporter looks for the most damning shot they can take and you apply it unfairly. FAIRNESS FAIL

You don't have a clue about these topics and have no business acting in this judgmental superior fashion.

To avoid flooding, Chicago built a stormwater conveyance system in 1856. Like most cities in this area, Chicago built one underground system that combines both wastewater and stormwater and moves them away from people toward treatment plants. This combined system is large enough to easily handle the city and suburban wastewater that needs to be treated. In fact, the volume of wastewater is so small compared to the stormwater, it is not even considered in designing the size of our sewer system. When there is too much stormwater, the combined sewers overflow and release untreated waste and stormwater into the Chicago River. This practice harms the health and habitat of the river. Homeowners occasionally experience this excess stormwater as flooding in their basements. By investing in green infrastructure, the City will help to reduce the amount of water flowing to the sewer system.

When it rains, some of the stormwater that falls in our neighborhoods soaks into the ground and some flows into the City’s sewer system. With more and more hard surfaces, such as rooftops and roadways, there are fewer and fewer places where rain water can infiltrate the soil, nourish plants and remain part of the natural system.

Without greenspace to absorb it, the sewer system is required to handle more and more water. Stormwater sent to our sewers is no longer available to irrigate our lawns or recharge groundwater. Further, when the sewer system becomes full it discharges into our waterways.

I think you like to poke at people without knowing anything about the topic.
That's a depressing and mean thing to do.
