April 24 at 10:40 AMI feel a tiny bit guilty for taking a point for reducing animal products for my dinner on Monday - it was vegetarian, but a lot of milk went into the making of that super yummy strawberry shake from Burgerville.

I ended up being able to hold off and add breakfast dishes before running the...

City of Portland has approved the following compostable bags/liners to be put in the compost bin but it is limited specifically to this list: Biobag...
