Bear Business

Earlier this week I decided it was time to get a composter, my family was getting pretty fed up with the ice-cream pails filled with compostables. The first night went fine. The second night, not so much. I had just got home from a late night in town, and when I was sneaking in my house through the backyard, I noticed bear droppings. Not feeling much of a bear tracker at that moment, I just went inside. The next morning  took a look at what kind of trouble the bear made, it basically ate my compost and left it  the form of droppings all over my yard. It wasn't too bad to clean up, but the bear messed my composter up a it; the picture above is half-way through putting it back together. Another lesson learned, be a little 'bear aware', I guess those elementary school presentations had a point.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

The Foundation, best vegan cafe ever.

It's exciting.

I meant to do that, obviously. - Kailey

 Only twelve days in and I am one broken dish ahead of Andrew, Carson and Josh. Murphy's Law? Or Perhaps this is something more specific to the challenge...Jen's Law? At least it is a small dish.

And to counterbalance this small unfortunate event, I must also add in; A) I have be washing/reusing plastic bags (that would have have hit the trash in the past), B) I have striving to achieve waste free baking, and lastly, C) I have gotten ordering waste free down pat.
