I watched Regaining Food Sovereignty today. The movie looks at food sovereignty through a first nations point of view. Putting agriculture back in the hands of the people and not large profit-driven industrial interests resonates with me, even though I support the use of technology and genetics in agriculture. 

I like to save veggie scraps in my freezer, boil them to make veggie broth, then use the leftover mass to feed my worm bin. I like that it doesn't take a whole lot of effort, and the worms love it! Even though I don't have much of a garden, I love growing worms. They're interesting little organisms, and I like to share them and their compost with my local community. 

I'm doing well with my challenges.  Just forget to post the progress with so many other things going on currently. 

This month I'm volunteering with Seattle Tilth Alliance to help bring their Master Composter/ Sustainability Steward training program online! I was a part of last year's cohort, where we learned about composting and recycling in King county, WA, and how to work in outreach activities to serve our local community. While the students this year are in for a vastly different experience, I'm really optimistic about the unique opportunities they'll have in learning and outreach amid physical distancing measures. We start classes on April 22nd! Here's a photo from last year's trip to the North Transfer Station where we had a view of the tipping floor - where local trash gets sorted before heading to the landfill.
