Saving the Planet : Composting

As Tripping Vittles developers a part of who we are and what we believe has a lot to do with not only human interactions but also those interactions we have with the earth. This is the first in a loose series Saving the Planet: Composting.
As I go through life and something strikes me that other people may be interested in or should know about when it comes to our planet I will share with you my followers.
Sunday Morning Composting
Every Sunday morning I either walk or ride my bike or sometimes drive my bucket of compost over to our cities composting bins. Today I was thinking all summer I have never run into anyone else over at the compost bins.
In this short video I show how easy it is to compost with the City of Westerville’s program. I encourage you to ask your city to look into a similar program.
Why?
Do not know about the program? It exists here in Westerville and probably several other cities and towns throughout the country. check with your city?
Do not know where to get the container? Our city was giving them away at one point for free. I don’t know if they still are but you can also easily order a bucket, lid and the composting bags from Amazon just follow the links.
Saving the Planet: Composting
If your city does not offer a program or you want to do your own composting I do not really know much about it but there are books to read and bins to buy. I say For for it and let me know how it goes. This is our planet and everything we do helps a little.
YES to composting! And one other tip? Save the cuttings from celery tops, cabbage cores or tough outer leaves, carrot peelings, onion skins, pressed garlic husk, the stems from thyme, and more. Save them in a gallon-sized plastic baggie in the freezer, adding the date you started it. When I have one or two bags, I create a 24- or 48-hour veggie stock, making a flavorful base for my soup. When I strain these out, I then add them to the compost bin. If I haven’t used my baggie in that 3-month period, I walk it out to the compost bin and start the next baggie.
Thanks for sharing that westerville has a year-round composting program. I had no idea!
Thanks for the tip!!
