One of the restaurants I patronize here in Madison has a sign posted, stating that they donates portions of thrir food scraps to a local farm for composting. I already had high regards for the place, but this revelation upgraded my opinion of them even more. Can you imagine if all restaurants, cafes and coffee shops donated their food scraps to farms to be used as compost? What if instead of dumping their organic waste, they put it to better use?
This kind of thing inspires me, and gets me thinking about ways I can improve my own environmental stewardship. I believe that even little efforts make a difference, but they can become even more powerful when combined with the efforts of others.
Earth Day, 2011 is about a month way. But why wait until then to make a difference?
