    So here's the deal.  I'm bad about checking in.  Most days I have one or two meatless meals - not because it is good for the environment but because I am lazy and I have to eat all those veggies from the CSA.  I have started composting because I plan on a garden next year.  I have a set up in the back yard for it.  The only had part is collecting it in the kitchen, so I started using the compostable produce bags the CSA uses.  Fill the bag up and throw the whole thing on the pile.  I try to be conscious of the amount of water I use because I know I use to much and we are so so lucky to have easy access to clean water.

    Eco tip:  Don't rinse your dishes before putting in the dishwasher!  The dishwasher will clean them for you and you'll save a lot of time and water!  It helps to load the dishwasher correctly and use the right amount of a good detergent.
