Couldn't be more thrilled
in Green Living
I'm known at school and work by some people as "the worm girl" since I compost. I don't really get how the concept can be that foreign to people, but whatever. Except in the last month I've had no less than 9 people ask me to send them info on where to get worms, how to build your own bin, rules on what to compost because they're interested. One was even an instructor from my college! I'm totally cool with being the weird kid if it means more people know where to get information 
Re: Couldn't be more thrilled
That's so cool!
It just seems strange to people because most people are so used to throwing everything in the garbage, or down the drain, and our culture has become so sanitized we think composting, making great nutrient-filled soil, healthy with worms is 'gross'.
Composting could make such a huge impact on our environment. If you read about how much of our landfills and even sewage are composed of compostable waste (and I don't mean poo, but stuff that goes down the disposal), its crazy. And food waste in plastic bags is a serious environmental concern, creating a lot of methane, and food waste going through sewage treatment is inefficient and wasteful, whereas composting it is safe, doesn't fill landfills and revitalizes our soil. Seems like an obvious, easy, and efficient solution!
And its just crazy to me throwing away all that great nutrition! Old stuff and scraps in my kitchen either go to the pets, my own compost, or city compost, depending.
