We are big composters. We compost everything - bread, tea bags, coffee grounds. I even dump out my old coffee in the garden. We keep a mixing bowl on the counter and just fill it up as the day goes along, then dump it in the mulch pile before dinner and wash it with the dinner dishes.

In New York, I live on a compost heap of all the stuff I accumulate.

Compost makes houseplants very happy.

I am a big fan of long drop, composting toilets - I like the cycle of using waste. When you have experienced one and seen what comes out of the bottom, it is amazing stuff. It's the most beautiful, driest, sweet-smelling compost.

I like to take out the recycling because I actually feel like I'm doing something.

I have become quite good at repurposing and reusing much of what comes into the house. The goal is to generate as little waste as possible.

Be mindful of what supermarkets are doing and demand to see their business practices. Stop throwing away food. Compost as much as you can, eat as locally and as seasonally as you can. Share knowledge and information.

I can be very messy and disorganized. And I don't throw away anything.

I don't want to do something unless it feels organic.
