I am still in the process of buying/building my own worm compost to have at home but in the meantime I have been saving compostable scraps in my freezer (to avoid any bad smell) and I plan on taking them to a local community garden to add to their compost. I think this is a nice way to compost for people who do not want to deal with the set up and maintenance of an indoor composting system.

I live by the Willamette and normally I walk my dog along the river but only go so far on the trail. Yesterday I went father than I usually do and discovered some really beautiful views. I will start going father whenever I have the time to now! It's interesting that there are so many things I haven't seen just right in my neighborhood and I definitely would like to explore more.

I purchased a reusable water bottle from Target. It's by the company Swell and its a metal bottle that keeps things cold. I have created much less trash at work by not having to get plastic cups every time I need water and plus I always have a nice cold water now! I would definitely recommend this company if anyone is interested in purchasing an ecofriendly water bottle (: I think everyone should have one.
