Like most Shopping Cart abusers The Composter claims his actions are legitimate
in the light of a higher calling. Unlike most abusers, he believes it. In
earlier times he focused on Wyoming's endangered Spotted Woodchuck. His
campaign there – "Hey Logger, Wood You Reconsider?" –
was well organized but ultimately unsuccessful. After the extinction of
the Spotted Woodchuck it became time for The Composter to move on.
Through a mixture of beliefs in environmentalism, numerology and libertarianism
he decided to focus on the Shopping Cart. The premise has been simple, take
the "ultimate symbol of environmental destruction" and return
it to the earth. The Composter steals a Cart, performs a series of rituals
and then "reunites it with Terra Mother".
Though structural degradation takes thousands of years the social degradation
happens right away. The Composter always claims the moral highground but
he still faces an uphill battle. We have recovered many of his victims and
repurposed them. But like a focused squirrel The Composter continues on.
It is up to all of us to break his cycle of destruction.
