For many years I thought about how to talk about the joys of aging rather than the dilemma of aging,...
If you live in New York City you may have noticed these new orange Composting bins. They have given me a whole new way to be relevant. That may sound pathetic, but those of you who’ve reached a certain age know how important that is.
I no longer feel guilty about throwing away spoiled fruits and vegetables. I know they’re going to a better place. My dead leaves and flowers now become food for the next generation of plants. It makes me feel sooo good. These scraps are turned into Black Gold – composting material that feeds parks, school gardens, etc. When I go to Central Park I know those flowers look so good because of me 🙂
My neighbor, Annelise, and I are competing for who goes to the bins the most — I’m Winning! We’ve joined forces in creating a campaign to have all the people in our building composting. With about 200 apartments we’re making a difference and making new friends.
What a great life!!!!

Love it! Thank you Rozzie. I love how I feel when reading the posts.. Life is the gift that keeps giving. I’ll take it.
Roz – thanks for the name drop! I find it so satisfying every time I use the bins! I love that they are also solar-powered and securely closed (= no rats) until you open them using a simple app. It feels as if we’re really helping the city and quality of life here.
And – where’s the proof you’re winning? 🙂
Profound new information. THANK YOU!
