Would love some tips for this if you could please. How big are your bins/trays and how often do you feed?

And I’d love to stimulate my local economy, so would you sell me some possibly? 🤔 I’d barter somehow even if you’re into that. I’m not looking for a lot of worms. Just something to get me to start hobby-ing so to speak..

Originally that law stated that every trash collector had to offer curbside compost collection by such and such a date. But they pushed back saying that that was unsustainable and VT simply chooses not to enforce the law. We compost. We don't compost. Depends on the day and the weather. No enforcement.

Being of a 2-party system where one is purely a controlled opposition, trying for elected office, even at Statewide levels, is pointless in and of itself.

Being a grey state and good-bye'ing boomers might give VT a running head start, but the push has to be more organized I think. Almost how the R's are trying to corner school boards and the edu market.

Progressive and Green both succumbed to a liberalism thats gone neo and had helped take us to this sickened state. Hearing the word 'socialist' drummed into maga ears with few besides Bernie to try and explain it make it a poison pill.

Let's go with Leftists! So far left it looks like right to sane conservatives that aren't caught up with praising Jesus :)

It's a banner that orgs need to adopt maybe? A manifesto or mantra? "Enough is Enough, Stop the Take!"

I've been doing this shit since the 60's riots and the wind is still blowin' that piss my way. But, for me, here's where it changed:

All the 'anti-queer' threats of violence to performers and shows, all the threats of violence to pro-abortion/choice; in the street, in their face.

Vermont has been spared a lot of that form of hate, but figuring out how to best deal with it is a good lesson. When and how best to confront hate/threats and who will stand.

r/socialistRA says can't advocate direct action (LLC) but aims me to the JBGC (John Brown Gun Club), the one org willing to confront (sometimes unarmed) these nazis if asked/requested or on-the-spot if needed.

One small(ish) group in the State that can mobilize w/a text and be available to rally assistance. Count me in.

> Force them out of the space.

take the cause to where 'they' play and recreate. The exclusive backwoods CC's and yacht clubs; nobody is safe until all are safe ... but I digress.

Also prolongs the life of VT's only landfill

Yeah, it's why I go to Lyndonville

Thank goodness someone has the courage to use shame to create behavior change. It doesn’t work, and never has, but you’re really doing the lords work.

The only way to make the necessary changes we need is to run for political office and win. If we have enough Millennials, Gen-Z leftists make it into office, then we can force the changes required in political culture to push out the lobbyists and corporate interests to retake democracy. And then we can begin to make the policy changes we need to make the cultural changes to protect ourselves and what's left of the planet. Otherwise, we're just pissing in the wind with these rants and failed protests. Run for office. Force them out of the space. Save democracy, save Earth.

IYK,YK

Start a compost pile. It's easy. And if you garden, it's just an added benefit. Otherwise, it's still good for your lawn. You can also get some worms and collect worm castings.

Oh man, people will probably actually send me death threats for this, but silver lake in Goshen

You can buy your own activated charcoal and the pods are just added enzymes for composting quickly. It works without them and will work without the charcoal but it’ll smell.

thanks for the kind reassurance :) Trump could prove to the camels' nose in an otherwise Koch brothers / America First / Freedumb Foundation world !

At that point I'll be jiggy with collapse and relaxed AF on hard cider and maple edibles :)

Hmm, I might have to make a FB account to expand my options.

Relax. It’ll be ok. You survived 4 years of Donald Trump. You’re going to get through this too!

I do what I can. Thanks for the encouragement…

I use Music Mountain composting. $20ish bucks a month and he picks up my 5 gallon bucket every 2 weeks and leaves a fresh one. This is Rutland county. I’m not sure how much of the state he covers

Thanks for the advice; its getting late and I'm tired.

Be well yourself, bub!

$20 a month for filters and pods? I hate everything becoming a subscription model.

It’s ok. Just maybe chill lol.

I do agree with the majority of what you’re suggesting. Not overly down for a debate tonight but good luck bud.

My sincere apologies! Really. I thought the context was alluding to me not Rama or r/vermontpolitics. Aside, I was surprised to see a lot in your history that aligns w/me, for real. Including shall not be... and life along 22A (friends in Poultney).

So, yea, it was kinda an asshole retort. And yea, I am prepared to fight (w/words) on this matter, considering how important I feel it is.

Again, forgive my impertinence

Peace Out, pard!

I ended up finding something in Saint Albans on marketplace. We’re going to be moving out in a couple months if you want to wait. We’re building a house so I just needed something for 6 months

When the law went into effect, the rat population boomed where I live, in Plainfield village. Given my childhood trauma re: rats, I noped right out of that situation. But I do have a dog who also loves veggies.

Where did any of that come from? I was giving you background on Rama and you went full asshole…

I delete and replace my account about every 6-12mo. I’m not new around here and at no point was I taking a shot at you. Seems like you’re looking for a fight though.

ABLE Waste Management comes to my town and takes compost, trash, and recyclables every Saturday. I put the bag they give you in the freezer so no smells or rotting and do a drop-off once or twice a month.

Well, who dat? Not me - I'm not preaching, just spilling facts that you can dispute if you care to; and not be poorly treated or distained for doing so.

Just make your case instead of snark from a barely 1month old account w/no Karma - see I can do that too! But I honestly won't judge based on your (brief) post history w/trucks, 2A, or funny memes :)
