Hailey and I talk about some really great stuff this week!

Hailey is from Anchorage Alaska and I learn that moose droppings are highly regarded there. This year Anchorage held their 28^th annual Moose Marble Madness event to raise money for local charities. Anchorage also just started up a community-composting program, which allows you to drop off food waste and take a bucket of finished compost for your garden. So cool!
