Michelle Lane 4/25/2018 8:18 AMThis has been such an interesting and fun project. I now live in an apartment building that has solar panels and is self sustaining. It's nice to know by living in that type of building I'm truly making a difference. At first I wasn't thrilled about composting but I've started to enjoy the fact that I'm not wasting leftovers. I also only cook what we'll eat instead of making way too much.
