This cold Sunday morning was serious business. Sadly we were missing Supreme leader Nayan and compost aid Ryan, so it was a very lackluster day. Aiden and Seb held down the fort with the compost being fast and serious (Aiden was very furious).

The boys reunite once again, and once again Lucas bails. 108.3 lbs of compost today (underwhelming). The Boys are thinking of a way to hype up interest in composting. Aiden was too obsessed with texting his lady friend and went very slow with pickups.  Next time all of the boys are together it is caroling season, and we will be singing at doorsteps in exchange for scraps.

This week, we collected 141 lbs of kitchen scraps, plus another 81 lbs that were very kindly dropped off last week.

This week, GCP collected another 165.2 lbs of kitchen scraps, bringing our grand total to 21,937.9 lbs diverted from landfill and 18.28 cubic yards of landfill space saved.

It was another busy week for GCP, with 187.2 lbs of kitchen scraps diverted from landfill.

We have not done a blog update since 7/24, but, as always, plenty has been happening behind the scenes.

After a month-long break, GCP is very happy to be back in action.

We have not done a blog update since 6/13, but there has been plenty happening behind the scenes at GCP.

Although we have been a bit quiet again over the last two weeks, that definitely does not mean nothing has been happening behind the scenes — there is no summer lull for GCP.

Although we have not blogged the last few weeks, work at GCP continues!  Since our last post we have collected 456.3lbs of food scraps, keeping them out of landfill in favor of transforming to black gold!

This week we collected 137.3 lbs of food scraps AND passed a huge milestone: GCP has now diverted 20,058.8 lbs of food scraps from landfill! We honestly cannot quite believe it. Between the three of us, we have now hauled more than 20,000 lbs up our huge hill — which definitely feels like better, and cheaper, than a gym membership.

Sorry for the long silence, but it has been a busy few weeks for GCP! Since our last blog, we have attended the ReThink Waste Fair, celebrated Earth Day with Parkway School, and played with worms at Live Like Luke — all with a bit of composting in between!
