==USDA Funding for Compost Marketing Video==
In spring 2011, Alexander appeared in a marketing video for the [[sewage sludge]] industry with [[Rod TaylorTyler]], whom the video described as a "compost gardener." Tyler is, however, the CEO of [[Filtrexx International]], a [[sewage sludge]] industry company that creates products derived from [[sewage sludge]], misleadingly labeled as "[[biosolids compost]]." The video encourages consumers to use municipal sewage sludge as compost for their yards and gardens. The video was funded by a [[USDA]] grant and presented by the [[US Composting Council]], the [[University of Hawaii]] and the [[Rodale Institute]]. The [[USDA]]'s chief soil scientist is [[Rufus Chaney]], a prominent sludge promoter. The video can be seen here:
