Help Send Vegetables to College

A car at the farm the other day had the following bumper sticker:

A rind is a terrible thing to waste: COMPOST

I suppose now would be a good time to thank Neighbor Husband for building a snazzy three-compartment compost bin on the backyard cliff we share. 

Needless to say, there was very little in the way of composting going on at our house before construction was completed a few months ago (unless you count this).  Now, there is much, much more.

I’m feeling uncomfortably green these days.  What’s next?  A hybrid?

You hippie.

Ah, yes. Compost. Out here, what you get with compost is rats and centipedes the size of your leg.

Makes you want to be a little less green... duddinit!

Thanks for the shout-out. Since we've moved to a community that makes recycling easy and fun (or at least easy), I find myself becoming a bit of a prig about being green. The latest quandary -- we switched over to cloth napkins. What do I do with the remaining paper ones I have? Burn them? I apologize in advance.

Were those perfectly good greens in that compost pile?
Kermit always said 'it isn't easy being green'.

Sandi: No, those were corn husks, mostly. And tree branches. Kermit the Frog was way ahead of his time.

Kermit: Please, please, please send your paper napkins to my house. Preferably in a car with inefficient gas mileage.

Sis: Why do the rats and centipedes have to ruin everything?

CC: I know you are, but what am I?

Fear not, madam; hybrids aren't actually worth the money. Their batteries create a whole new environmental boondoggle; if you want to been efficient you're better off buying a really good econocar.
