While we were living in Mexico V and I were constantly trying to wrap our heads around living in a city that didn't recycle or compost. We were always trying to find unique new uses for old glass jars and cans and even started throwing our compost-able waste into the jungle behind our home just to keep it out of the landfill. Now that we've returned to Canada we are overjoyed to have weekly recycling and (new to us) weekly apartment compost pick-up! For those of you that live in cities that haven't jumped on the urban composting program you should check out my friend Chad's blog about a new apartment composting technology. Chad is spending 6 months chronicling his adventures with 'the red dragon' - a small, apartment friendly (not pictured above), composting device from Korea. So far the results seem pretty outstanding and I can't wait to learn more as the weeks unfold...
