Decorative compost?!

I was perusing the WorldChanging site today and came across an item about a cool startup company in Bangalore called Daily Dump that has designed a line of innovative clay pots that double as composters and decorative planters. The ambitious company is selling the pots, and also offering a maintenance service for those who don't want to mess with the resulting compost themselves. The company appears to have franchising in mind--kind of like diaper service, but for household waste.

It's a great solution in a place like India, where the systems for dealing with trash disposal are primitive, but seems like it would be a hot idea right here in the US. Daily Dump's brand-new website doesn't seem to be quite open for business yet, but I'm wondering if they will ship the urns overseas, or if a local distributor is in the works.
