Yaay! That is something I can really get behind. It is teaching your daughters and all of us good stewardship. Keep up the good (and progressive) work, Obamas.

I love composting! We’re trying to get a composting system instated at my school next year.

It’s not difficult to keep a compost bucket closed; I’ve been doing it for well over ten years, and it’s in my kitchen.

I’m all for the worm-bins idea; I bet the rich soil they started the vegetable garden on was made of worm castings. And that’s not hard to do either.

I just hope they keep the compost bins very well closed, otherwise there will be flies everywhere… and since president Obama’s new favourite sport is killing flies, then he wouldn’t have much free time to deal with all the issues he has on his hands right now!

He would be running around the White House swatting flies…

Recycling and composting is not that hard. We’ve been doing it for years. Today the mayor signed a new law that REQUIRES recycling AND composting. Why send all that good stuff to landfills where it will never break down and will be forever unused? Instead, reuse, repurpose, recycle, realize we can be part of the solution. http://www.sfgreenscene.com/node/109

Fantastic! That’s something I really need to do too.
