During harvest times, it's important to recognize just how crucial native peoples were to growing and sustainable living in America. One great sustainability technique in farming that was taught to the first settlers was hilling or mounding. When planting crops, creating a mound helps keep new seeds warm, aerated, and safe from excess moisture that causes rot. Extend the life of your garden and increase the abundance of your yield through this indigenous practice. Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.

It's astounding to read the data on how long common items take to break down in a landfill. We must continue recycling and innovating to reduce items that outlive us as we produce them.

Looking for a new cardigan to don before grabbing your favorite pumpkin-flavored drink? Shop at your local thrift shop first! This helps hit the first two "Rs" of the sustainability circle - Reduce (the need to produce more) and Reuse (by providing a second life for the sweater rather than sending it to the land fill).

Happy International Coffee Day! We're excited for seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice, cinnamon swirl, and candy cane mocha to hit our favorite coffee shops. More and more coffee companies are switching from plastic cups to compostable plastics. It's important to check your cup to see if it is compostable, so you're not throwing it in the trash. Place it in a compost bin instead, or opt to bring a reusable cup for your barista to fill! Enjoy the sweet aroma of sustainable coffee consumption.

Today is International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. Sounds like a mouthful, but the idea is simple. Take some time this week to think about the food waste your family generates, and develop a plan to reduce it.

Many find it helpful to develop a grocery list based on a meal plan. If you do develop a list, make sure to stick to it, and only buy the food that you need! Research proper storage techniques to get the most out of your food, and compost any scraps or expired produce or grains. https://www.epa.gov/recycle/preventing-wasted-food-home

Disposable v**es are not as disposable as you think. Some waste carriers around the country are reporting that these items can cause fires during garbage transportation because compacting them causes the chemicals and the batteries in them to comingle. So, what do you do with them?
Here are three options:
1) Visit the manufacturers website to see if they have a buyback program for used devices. You could get paid to ship it back to them!
2) If there is no way to mail it back to the manufacturer, remove the batteries from the v**es and recycle them. The rest of the v**e can go in your regular trash.
3) Hang onto them until the Household Hazardous Waste event in May.

In 1994, Michigan lawmakers passed legislation banning trash haulers from dumping yard waste into the landfill. That's why communities across the state provide yard waste pick-up, especially during the fall months.

Non-organic materials contaminate the compost process and can harm workers, so make sure to remove f***s and loose objects from your yard before you rake your leaves into a brush bin or bag.
