So, the city put the official stall on the multi-family housing compost pilot program. The official word was: We need to develop appropriate outreach materials in advance of beginning a pilot, but we will certainly include Mission Village when a pilot is feasible. Hmmmmm. Not exactly a loss, but not exactly a win, either. When I got this news, I felt as though I were at a crossroads. Should I wait patiently, knowing all good things come to those who deserve them? Or should I put on my bossy pants and march right down to the..well, I'm not exactly sure which department, but for sure I could at least march down to the lobby at city hall and inquire.
Chalk it up to pregnancy hormones, but I just wasn't feeling very bossy. I was feeling very zen. This is the good side of pregnancy (if it had been during the rabid bear hormones that are known to show up during the gestational period from time to time, I may have done something slightly more ill-advised). Instead I just said ok, and thought back to the first three tenants of this project:
1. Make the transition slowly
2. Go easy on myself if I don't always get it right
3. Honor intentions
Somewhere out there, in the future of all good things, I know a composting service for multi-family residence citizens of Union City will come to be, and I will wait patiently for now.
