Playing Catch Up!

Spring tends to bloom with tons of new blog post content. I meant to publish this one before the previous (Tulips and Grass-fed beef), but was so overjoyed by the day that I went ahead posted. Now to play a bit of catch up.


Our loot! from the Sustainability Expo in Tacoma @ the Convention Center on March 3rd 2012
We got:
Light bulbs
Sunflower seeds
water saver timer
(to use to reduce water use in the shower!)
Vegetable brush
a tote
and
tons of awesome information!


One of the best things we learned while
we were visiting was
about these little guys:

Tacoma has instituted a new program where we get to put food waste into our yard waste bins. We already have a worm compost, but there are certain things that they will not eat. Items include dairy, meat, breads, fruits/ veggies and even leftovers! Though we have not received our cute little bin, I placed the first food in our large brown can.


For next post: We continue playing catch up- Patio Improvements!

  2. No we haven't, but we also have not called about it yet, either! The Main house got theirs so I think we got forgotten. We just need to call.
