    Excited for September's talk on Vermiculture; that is looking like my best option for apartment composting!

    I watched Wasted! last night and then spent hours researching how to compost in an apartment. :)

    Oceans help to regulate our weather patterns and move solar radiation. I am working to make sure that I always bring a reusable straw with me when dining out and am going to start purchasing fish and seafood from sustainable and ethically sourced providers.
