Blog Update!
For those of you not following me on Facebook, as of the Summer of 2019 I've moved to Central WA, to a tiny mountain town of less than 1,000 people.

I will be covering my exploits here in the Cascades, as I try to further reduce my impact on the environment. With the same attitude, just at a higher altitude!

Props to Cupcake Royale

Show me your cupcakesI just wanted to give a shout out to my favorite cupcake place on the west coast, Cupcake Royale, for now offering a food waste bin (for stuff to be composted) in their Ballard store.

Not like we go often or anything.

So, now I can rest easy knowing that our cupcake wrappers and paper napkins are going to a better place.

Sniff. Such a beautiful thing.

I'm sure there are plenty of restaurants in Seattle that take advantage of food waste composting (Wild Mountain Cafe is one), but since CR is a "bus your own table" kind of place it's easy to see that it's being done.

What about your favorite places? Any composting bins available?

There are quite a few places in Madison proper that do this - just last week I was at Lazy Jane's for breakfast and noticed they have two separate bins - it is also a bus your own table place.

Wow, that's great news! I haven't been to Cupcake Royale(West Seattle)...hmmm since I quit my job right around the corner from them... and ummm oh yeah, we had another baby. Soon we'll be ready to venture out into the 'real world' again. HA

I was so excited to see CR had a food waste bin! I think Ballard is on the road to doing some great things. Now if I could just get to a Sustainable Ballard meeting . . .
