Well, sort of. First let me say that this is my first attempt at Vlogging (yet another strange new millenium verb). I figured there were a few things that might be more fun to watch than to read—so now and then you’ll see me in action (and maybe even learn something).

Now to my claim that Composting is Cake. At first I thought, boy oh boy, another waste management system to contend with. But now I’m hooked, and still can’t believe how much less garbage I produce. The process is super easy for me because my neighborhood has a curbside organics collection program that was launched in ‘08, thanks to the organization Linden Hills Power & Light.

All I do is collect my kitchen scraps in a stainless steel compost bin purchased at LH Natural Home; then when it fills up, I dump the stuff into a green cart outside my door. That cart goes out with my recycling once a week and the compost-to-be gets picked up and taken to an offsite processing facility where it eventually turns into rich soil. How sweet is that?

Just like city recycling programs eventually became the norm, I’m hoping more neighborhoods in the metro adopt organics collection programs. Take it from me: Composting is even easier than dividing up your bottles, cans, and cardboard.
