As many of you may know through twitter and facebook, I am back in the city! I touched down in San Francisco the day before Thanksgiving and have spent the last few weeks getting back on my feet. The move back to the states from the wonderful land of Oz was a spontaneous and gut instinct. A short term regrouping in order to jump back into my passions hard core. I’ll delve more into my reasoning for all you curious souls in my next post, but for now I want to share with you one massive reason I am happy to call SF home once again.

Wait for it…get ready….

That’s right guys! As of October 21st, 2009 legislation requires that all households compost. I know! I was equally as floored. A gigantic city wide distribution of eco friendly compost bins is sweeping the city at this very moment. All management companies, home owners and renters alike must use the friendly bin or face a hefty fine.

So does that mean every apartment will have to pile and stir a massive, worm filled, smelly, fly haven? Not with a trend like this. Companies are clamoring to design the perfect counter top bin. Even Walgreens and Safeway selves are stocked with a variety of bright and stylish bins for those with discerning tastes.

This is exactly why I love the San Francisco community. It’s progressive, and innovative with an entrepreneurial buzz to die for.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to put my first orange peel in my bin. Do you compost?
