I stopped reading after a $33 subscription. If you know anything about compost/the benefits of compost, you know there are very few ways to "speed up" the composting process.

I welcome a technological approach to composting, but the tech isn't there yet. One of the most essential parts of compost is the microorganisms within the compost. Sure, you're reducing your waste, but I would love to see a study done on the benefits of shredded dehydrated food.

My weird obsession is compost/composting. I had so many friends sending me this product saying, "omg have you seen this?!?!?"

I told them why this product was BS, and they thought I was being a hater. This video makes me so happy that I was right.

I just watched the movie this past weekend on Christmas day. I thought it was great! Was it my favorite Disney animated film? No. It was just a wacky feel-good movie about taking care of what you have, whether that be family, friends, your home, or the "planet" you live on. .

I do not understand the hate for the movie. I understand why homophobes didn't like it, but it's still a fun movie.

At the bottom of the article:

"In fact, many forest ecologists say creating space to allow nature to do its thing is usually a better approach to restoring forests than planting. “Allowing nature to choose which species predominate … allows for local adaptation and higher functional diversity,” argues one advocate, Robin Chazdon of the University of Connecticut, in her book Second Growth. For mangroves, Wetlands International now recommends abandoning widespread planting and instead creating areas of slack water along coastlines, where mangroves can naturally reseed and grow."

I would also argue, due to mismanagement and improper planning that another reason these fail is because in some areas trees are being planted in areas completely devoid of healthy functional soil.

A lot of times we see photos of people planting in areas that look like deserts, there is a reason the ground looks like that. How is a tree supposed to grow if native grasses don't even grow there? Working on soil health should go hand and hand when it comes to mass planting.
