My Journey to a Zero-Waste Kitchen!
I've finally managed to reduce my kitchen waste by 90%! It started with simple swaps like using cloth towels instead of paper ones and bringing my own containers for groceries. My biggest challenge was finding a good composting solution for my apartment. I ended up with a small worm bin under my sink, and it's been fantastic. The worms are quiet, don't smell, and produce amazing fertilizer for my houseplants. Anyone else have tips for small-space composting?

DIY Project: Turning Plastic Bottles into a Vertical Garden
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my weekend project! I collected a bunch of 2-liter plastic bottles and turned them into a vertical garden on my balcony. It was surprisingly easy and now I have fresh herbs growing right outside my door. It's a great way to upcycle and add some green to your space. I've attached some photos of the process. Let me know if you want a step-by-step guide!

Local Recycling Center Question - Do they take soft plastics?
Does anyone know if the GreenValley Recycling center on Main St. accepts soft plastics like grocery bags and plastic wrap? Their website is a bit unclear. I've been collecting them hoping to recycle them properly but don't want to make a trip for nothing. Thanks in advance!
