I just moved into a new townhouse and I am doing everything I can to live in a way that’s less harmful to the environment, I have an unfinished basement that can possibly be used to store a compost bin, but no place to plant a garden, so I would’nt know what to do with the soil. A friend suggested I forego the compost bin and just get a garbage disposal to deal with kitchen scraps. Please help!

A compost bin – but you need at least a bit of living soil and a container of fishing worms to get things started. If it is stirred and moistened routinely it should not smell other than a damp dirt smell. It should never stink or smell like garbage.
Only vegetable, fruit and grain should go in it, never put dairy, oils, fats, or meats in small compost bin.
Use the finished “dirt” for flower pots or give it away.

I think some farms there are already going organic so a food place serving local organic harvest/produce might do ok. I am just not sure about a purely vegan restaurant though. You might want to consider having a "mixed" theme meaning serving local organic vegan food side by side with organic but "regular" stuff.

Think about it this way, if you can get some "regular" folks interested and curious about organic foods and they liked it, they might be tempted to go vegan too.
