I am not currently composting since we have chickens that eat nearly all of our food waste. When we had horses, we built a specific shed/barn with a concrete base and a roof to allow proper moisture management for composting the manure and eliminate (or at least minimize) runoff into the local creek.

I have been using a meal kit service for 3 dinners each week. It's nice to have the right amount of each ingredient needed to minimize waste. The boxes delivered make some attempt at reducing packaging (especially plastic), but they could do better.

We just got our Novi team started yesterday, so I hope we get some participants. There are lots of opportunities to do good work and learn about how others are helping with conservation.
