garbage in your house, yeeesss!

I always thought DIY were stupid. I figured people just did them because they couldn’t afford to buy the real thing in the store. Well, becoming more environmentally conscious, less-consumeristic, and less and less “dumb teenager-istic”, I have realized that DIY are actually kind of cool and fun.

So, while doing some searching on compost boxes for apartments on the Internet, I came across a DIY on the Discovery.com site. Not having a yard to make a compost pile, I wanted to see if other urban dwellers were able to compost despite the handicap of not having a yard. And apparently they are. And all you really need is some plastic or metal box. If, like me, you are interested in making your own compost box, go here. It lists out an easy step-by-step guide for making the box. Hopefully in the next month or so I can make my own. If you don’t have your own box outside or inside, think about making one of these.
