Years ago when I was extolling the virtues of living in the Seattle area, a friend of mine from "back east" commented that it sounded like Seattle was the land of Oz. I, of course, burst out laughing and said, "Well, it isn't called the 'Emerald City' for nothing." Over the years Seattle has gained a reputation for lots of different things, including this past years' title for world's worst handling of a major snow event in a large US city. If Seattle didn't actually win that title, it jolly well ought to have won it for the disastrous mishandling of the storms that brought a foot of white stuff to the Emerald City. Still it was an adventure, and hopefully we all came out of it wiser. Now we're on to greener pastures, and I really mean greener. More composting and recycling is available in one of the most seriously dedicated-to-recycling cities around. Check out Nicole Brodeur's article on taking recycling/composting up another notch. Hit it, Nicole.
