compost bin: the new year resolution

i’ve posted before about the fantastic LESEC–the folks who provide consumer level compost drop-off on union square green market days. (M-W-F-Sa) they’ve really helped me take my food awareness up a notch.

Leave a Comment

i first got turned onto them at alt.cafe (now defunct) years ago. in a basket on the counter, i saw some yummy looking sugar cookies in a hand-tied cello bag. one cookie resembled the earth, the other was a white dove of peace. the sentiment [...]
