Recycling is a pain !

Sure it's trendy and everyone seems to be jumping on the band wagon. But no one really likes to admit that it is a chore. It's ok, the cat is out of the bag. Go ahead and let it all out. Sorting, removing labels, rinsing out cans ect. are unpleasant chores and basically a giant pain in the ass! But those of us that are committed do it anyway and feel like we shouldn't complain. Consider this your permission to be honest about your feelings regarding the tedious day to day task of reducing your impact on the planet. It's ok, you are not alone. Keep up the good work!

Nothing learned from history

If this were not so tragic and horrific, it would be hilarious!




Maybe THIS time the lessons will be learned. It's time to end our dependancy on petroleum, nothing good seems to come from it.

Compost to reduce your waste

The EPA estimates that about 1/4 of the garbage that is put on the curb is compostable. Why ship this rich organic matter off to a landfill when it could be put to good use in your own back yard!?! There are hundreds of resources on the web to introduce you to the wonderful world of composting. In addition to tips from the EPA, there's composting 101 & how to compost to get you started. It's so easy these kindergartners did it.



Join the composting revolution and reduce your contribution to the waste stream. It's time to harvest your organic waste and turn it into a valuable resource!
