My place for figuring out how to get my family through the next 10 years of upheaval, economic disaster, climate destabilization, and oil depletion, all from a house on a regular city block lot in a small midwestern town. And stay sane. Well, we'll see about the sanity part, one must prioritize after all...

On Earth Day...
... please don't buy things packaged in ridiculous "100% compostable" bags & wrappers unless you actually have compost to put it in. Understand that throwing a 100% compostable bag into the trash/landfill is no different than throwing a 100% styrofoam box into it. Nothing biodegrades in a landfill. So stop it. Or better yet, start a compost pile. Or better still, start a compost pile and still don't buy those ridiculous products. Mm-kay?

I have just discovered this blog and I am so impressed. I went back to the beginning and have read the first three posts and then I have been flipping through other posts - very very interesting. I will follow what you have to say now - but I totally agree beyond a shadow of a doubt that everyone needs a compost and ALSO needs to stop buying as many prepackaged items as possible. Cheers, Wendy
