The Sustainable Magnoliarecycling team is initiating a program to facilitate food waste pick-up at apartment and condominium complexes in Magnolia. It is estimated that an average apartment complex generates up to one ton of food waste per year. That material could be recycled and reused rather than adding to the burden on our land fills. If you rent or own an apartment or condominium in a complex in Magnolia, and would like to help initiate food waste pick-up for your building, please email the recycling team at recycle@sustainablemagnolia.org. Reminder: Sustainable Magnolia meets at 7 p.m., Monday, April 19.

Sure, corporations are people whose dollars are (in the Orwell formulation) more equal speech than others. And, yeah, our political system is more corrupt the higher you go, with the halls of Congress filled with actors auditioning for their future careers as lobbyists for the companies they now "regulate."
