COMPOSTING AT UUCQC As part of the Sharing Garden project, the team has decided to try a little composting. Perhaps you have noticed the kitty litter containers by the large waste basket in the kitchen ….. no, we are not raising kitties! But this is where our food “litter” is going. We also have 2 composting bins on the south side of the garage where the miraculous transformation of leftovers to plant nourishment will occur, we hope. We are starting carefully, and will see what works and what doesn’t. We ask that for meals prepared in the congregational kitchen, fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds and coffee filters, recyclable paper (“green” paper plates and napkins and paper towels) be placed in the small kitchen containers. No meat, fish, dairy, oils (fried) should be added. These containers should then be emptied in one of the bins by the garage (for now the large green one) when your event is over and not left in the kitchen. It is important that they be rinsed and cleaned for the next group to use. Just imagine next year we may be enjoying a meal that contains remnants of Mother’s day brunch, vegetarian/vegan dinners, Youth RE soup; sharing not only the spirit but the molecules as well.
