Small scale composting indoors is a great way to keep your fruit and vegetable scraps out of your garbage and back into the soil.

10/25/2018

 
Small scale composting indoors is a great way to keep your fruit and vegetable scraps out of your garbage and back into the soil.  

Start a compost bin in your house or apartment for vegetable and fruit scraps.  Make your own container out of wood or using a plastic bin. A plastic bin should have a lid, and you will need to cut holes on the sides a few inches down from the top. 

Halloween decorations: upcycle and get crafty

10/18/2018

 
Picture
Instead of buying new Halloween decorations, upcycle, get crafty and make your own. 


Here are some ideas for Halloween decorations that you can make at home:
Milk Jug Ghosts
Draw a face on an empty milk jug with sharpie or paint, then place a light inside.

Ghost Lights  
Find old glass light covers or lamp shade covers at a local thrift store. Using fabric, particularly felt, cut outs eyes and a mouth and glue them on to create a face.  Light them up with a small light or candles.

Potion Bottles
Create a decoration from empty bottles with interesting shapes. Cover them with black paint so you can’t see through them.  Add labels to each bottle with creative and gruesome names for potions or witches brew ingredients.

What not to flush down the toilet

10/9/2018

 
What to flush? Not tissues, pills, wipes of any kind, dental floss, contact lenses, tampons, condoms, cotton swabs, paper towels, or kitty litter. Waste management facilities can only handle human waste and toilet paper.

For more details, see this article in the New York Times:
