I started taking my peels etc. home yesterday from work. Easier than I thought. It is interesting how making a big change starts with a small action that we think might be too awkward. Talked to a colleague about the composting and discovered that she used worms in her previous compost- what a great idea. The closest I've come to that is taking Isaac's 'after a heavy rain worm collection' and putting it in the garden space.

I realized yesterday that I only compost at home and wondered about whether I could start composting at work. Perhaps bring a container for peels etc. or 'motivate' my coworkers to join in. I think concerns about fruit flies and odour might deter some from a larger workplace composting project. Maybe more individuals will individually compost though.
