Home Composting. FREE Workshops in 2012. So easy, even Oscar The Grouch can do it...

The best way to amend poor soil is to start your very own garden compost! Toss nutrient rich kitchen scraps into the compost pile, instead of into the garbage can. Be kind to Mother Earth, and reduce waste. The Environmental Protection Agency has great composting information on their website.

There are many Bay Area Workshops on how easy home composting really is. Even if you live in an apartment, a small worm box can do the job! The Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA) sponsors upcoming classes in several cities throughout the year. CLICK HERE for the complete 2012 schedule. All classes are FREE of charge!

What do you do when you walk on by a fruit tree? Any ONE of us can do this...

How can we alleviate hunger if we don't even try? (And, end urban fruit waste at the very same time!) Any ONE of us. Any Town, USA - or any part of the world - for that matter, can make an impact in the lives of those less fortunate. From the doorsteps of fruit tree owners...to the doorsteps of need.

"Knock. Knock. Hello. My name is Anna and I see that you have a fruit tree. By any chance do you use all of the fruit for your own family, or would you be interested in sharing a bit with a local food pantry?"

That's all I do. (Well, I've knocked on thousands of fruit tree doors.) Yet, it truly is that simple. What are you waiting for? Fruit is ripe right now! Every city has an edible urban harvest. Is it apples, peaches, peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts, pecans, cherries, oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruit, avocados, apricots, loquats, pineapple, passion fruit? It is a passion! Happy Thoughts. Happy Harvesting.

I am also available for public speaking at social and civic groups, offices, churches, faith groups, schools, preschools, senior clubs, service organizations, etc. to inspire other individuals who wish to help alleviate hunger and inspire others. Thank you!
