Learning right alongside you, Reader.

I've been having a lot of conversations around my teaching style. You have graciously shared with me that I need to be more basic. How can I provide a quick win, a small step, something simple to implement toward living more sustainably?

This has felt more challenging than I anticipated.

I long to have frequent conversations around sustainable living, because I want everyone to care AND I'm so passionate that it's the only thing I want to talk about.

In order to get to that place, I need to be a better teacher.

Put another way, be the basic girl. 🙃

So we're going back to school!

Or the drawing board.

Either way, I want to be better about sharing the how, not just the why.

There's no overnight success around here.

It's just a matter of doing the best you can, until you know better.

Composting as a way of life.

I've had a few people express an interest in learning to compost.

Yes! Let's talk about reducing your food waste, keeping toxins out of the landfill and providing beneficial nutrients to the soil.

The first step I would take is deciding your why. Based on the options above, why do you want to compost?

Maybe it's all three. This may indicate a lot—keep reading.

Next, you need to determine where your compost will go when it leaves your home.

Are you going to have a whole system set up outside? With part of it stored inside?

​Do you want to dig a hole in the yard? (you have to watch until the end to see this reenacted 😂)

Or maybe you just want to dispose of it and keep it out of a landfill.

After you've asked yourself a few questions, then you can get started!

See you next week!
