We've been participating in the Organics program in Barrie, which means that we put our food scraps into an organics bin and put it out on garbage day to be taken to be decomposed into soil! We thought that it would be a great way to help out the environment and do our part to become more "green." Unfortunately, sometimes being "green" isn't all sweet smelling roses, which led us to needing to find another alternative. The Organics program worked great in the fall, spring and winter, but the idea of (excuse the term) week old rotten food sitting in a warm garage produced an awful smell. I looked into this and the advice given was to put the food scraps in the freezer until garbage day..yeah, I DON"T think so, EEEEW!
So, we decided to get a garbage disposal to use for the worst of the food, and still use the Organics bin for the less offending odor foods. As most of you know, whenever daddy starts a project on the home, it is an automatic magnet for kids to want to watch and "help." Kaley was NO different. She got in there like a champ and even tried to offer some advice on the situation. We were able to get her "helping" on video and get a couple of pictures. What a great help she is!!!
