Tuesday Video - Building a worm composting bin

Fall is the ultimate season for hobbie and projects.  So here's one for you, especially our apartment / condo / renting audience.  It's a fun and informative video about how to make a worm composting bin. 

But first, just for a week, pay extra close attention to the waste you accumulate.  pay attention to what goes into your garbage and recycling, and think about everything you're throwing away, "could I do something else with that?".  We're not insinuating that you try to Macgyver every little bit of your trash, but just consider if what your'e throwing away could actually be recycled, reuised, or composted (you'd be surprised)According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American produces about 4.4 pounds of garbage a day, or a total of 29 pounds per week and 1,600 pounds a year.  See what you can do to reduce that figure.
