Here are some YouTube videos on composting that I am using as a resource for composting.     It really answered a lot of my questions.  One thing I was doing was putting food scraps on top of the compost and that was attracting a lot of pest.  A video gave the common sense solution of covering the food scraps with dry material.  As I try to compost once more, I hope to get everything right this time around.

One company Good to Grow has donated over 2,000 BPA free bottles to an orphanage in Haiti, The Hands and Feet Project, that has two locations through Haiti and has been helping victims of the earthquake.

The donation to Hands and Feet Project is part of Green to Grow’s Bottles to Babies initiative, whose ongoing outreach gives back to those in need while helping to educate them about issues related to their families’ health and the environment. Last year, through their Bottles to Babies initiative, Green to Grow donated over $52,000 of BPA-free feeding products to non-profit organizations that serve low-income families in the U.S. and abroad.

Green to Grow was started by Mike Ritterbrown and his wife Shelley Aronoff. This couple wanted to have BPA-free bottles for their own child and found the supply of those products limited. They then started the need company out of need to have the BPA-free bottles available for themselves and other parents. Green to Grow products are free of BPA, phthalates, lead, and PVC. Green to Grow manufacturers and distributes a line of BPA-free plastic baby bottles, glass baby bottles, silicone nipples, starter/gift sets, organic cotton baby cloths, totes, and accessories.
