      <image:title>Blog - Providing Extra Support During Public Safety Power Shutoffs - If parts of our region experience extreme weather conditions, as a last resort, we may shut off power to help prevent a wildfire and keep our community safe. This is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). To learn more about PSPS, visit sdge.com/PSPS. To help ensure we keep you informed with PSPS alerts, please check your contact information and sign up for outage notifications at sdge.com/notifications.  Do you have a disability or use a medical device for health, safety or independence that requires electricity? Let us know at sdge.com/AFN-Survey. And, if you need additional support during a Public Safety Power Shutoff, dial 2-1-1. You may be eligible for helpful resources. For more information on accessibility support, visit sdge.com/AFN.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Build Your Own Worm Bin - DIY a worm bin to prevent food waste in your household!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Think you don't have room for compost—small yard, apartment, or maybe you are a condo dweller? How about a worm bin? Come on, don't make that face! It's easy to make a worm bin. They don't smell bad, they're a great way to recycle food, and they're a lot of fun (kids love them). . . and you end up with a soil amendment/fertilizer for your plants (including potted plants in your house). You can buy commercial worm bins, but making your own is easy and inexpensive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why should you become a Master Composter? - Blog Post by Master Composter Graduate, Tammy Churchill.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I registered for the Master Composter Course in early 2020, I did not have much experience composting, as my neglected passive pile would gladly attest. Composting was something I was interested in: I’d moved into a new house with plenty of room for growing vegetables, and I wanted to give them the best possible soil. I also hated the idea of food waste going into the landfill where the nutrients would be lost. As soon as I saw the Solana Center’s post advertising the class, I signed up on the same day. For those of you who are considering taking the course, here are my top three reasons to encourage you to do so:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What Do “Best By” Dates On Food Really Mean?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Have you ever found yourself wondering about the “best by” date on food items? Are they still safe to eat even though the date has passed? How long will your favorite food or beverage stay safe? Surprisingly, the answer is not on the date label. Most date labels tell you about food quality, not safety. We suggest using your own senses and judgment to determine if food looks, smells, and feels safe to eat.⁣</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Top Three Reasons to Become a Master Composter - Blog Post by Master Composter Graduate, Tammy Churchill.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I registered for the Master Composter Course in early 2020, I did not have much experience composting, as my neglected passive pile would gladly attest. Composting was something I was interested in: I’d moved into a new house with plenty of room for growing vegetables, and I wanted to give them the best possible soil. I also hated the idea of food waste going into the landfill where the nutrients would be lost. As soon as I saw the Solana Center’s post advertising the class, I signed up on the same day. For those of you who are considering taking the course, here are my top three reasons to encourage you to do so:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Tumbler Compost Bins Work?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tumblers are composting bins that are manually flipped, spun, rolled or crank-turned for aeration, depending on the style. These bins do not require turning with a pitchfork or auger, instead, the entire compost bin is turned for aeration. There are several variations on this theme.</image:caption>

Harvesting free greens from our gardens is one way to approach the plants we did not intend to have in our gardens. For more information on edible weeds, visit the UC Davis Weed Photo Gallery  (IPM,) which has descriptions, photographs, and a handy search function. However, if there are unwanted plants in your garden, there are a variety of ways to prevent or remove them without harmful chemicals, including mulching and solarizing. See below for details.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Compost is a small but important part of soil. Compost is made from your decomposed kitchen and yard waste and becomes the living part of soil. Soil is the top layer of earth and consists of varying proportions of minerals, organic matter, water, and air. The guide below details different methods of composting in your backyard as well as maintenance and troubleshooting guidance.</image:caption>

Fortunately, most of San Diego County rarely experiences freezing temperatures, which can be deadly to worms. After all, they’re mostly water! Nonetheless, the following tips will keep your worms wiggling throughout the winter:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Can Cutting Your Food Waste Help the Climate? - This article was written by Volunteer Fay Smith.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Food waste is a common problem many households and food establishments are faced with. Throwing away food scraps and leftovers that could have been eaten seems like an easy solution but in reality has devastating outcomes. When food waste enters a landfill, it begins contributing to greenhouse gas emissions due to the anaerobic environment. When food scraps go into landfills and rot, they produce methane, a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming and drastic weather changes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Case Study: Food Cycle Community Compost Program</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the end of 2023, Solana Center made the difficult decision to end the Food Cycle Community Compost program. With the rollout of curbside green recycling bins, we had seen a steady participation decline, and continuing the program was no longer sustainable for our organization. We are so grateful for all of the residents and businesses who participated in this program and helped demonstrate a need for community composting in our region and beyond! Read on to learn more about the impact and outcomes of this six-year pilot program.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In California, the term “green bin” has become ubiquitous with the rollout of SB 1383 organics recycling regulations that went into effect in 2022. As we look to January 2024, a new phase of the state bill will be seen with the enforcement of non-compliant businesses and jurisdictions. This is great news for those dedicated to edible food rescue and diverting organic material from the landfill to prevent climate-warming greenhouse gases.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Diverting waste from landfill can sometimes feel like a chore, but the benefits far outweigh the temporary annoyance of getting your hands dirty. This is especially true of organic waste. Yes, it may occasionally be sticky or smelly, but it’s not hard to properly sort and divert these compostable materials away from our landfills – and doing so brings some enormous benefits.  Here are just a few of the ways diverting your organic waste from landfill can benefit society and the planet:</image:caption>

Today, most of that uneaten food ends up in landfills, or is otherwise disposed of––an economic dead end, and a social and environmental risk.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Understanding Your Business’s Waste</image:title>
      <image:caption>The first and most important step to reducing waste is understanding what you are wasting and why. Food waste from restaurants can occur before the food is served from over-ordering ingredients, improper storage, and inefficient menus, or after the customer has received the food because of too large portion sizes and wasteful serving practices. There are many tools and practices, from high-tech software to quick visual inspections, that can help you understand where waste is happening. Click below to learn more and find which technique is best for your business.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Reducing is always the best method to solve our food waste problem, but when we are not able to reduce, we can still rescue and divert in order to use food waste as a valuable resource and not add it to the landfill. If the food is still edible, donate it to help those in need get access to food. If the food is not edible it is still a valuable resource as animal feed or compost. This simple act will not only benefit your community but ensure your business complies with SB 1383 regulations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Red Wiggler Worm Reproduction - Article written by Nancee Foglesong (Master Composter Volunteer)</image:title>
      <image:caption>As composters, we definitely love our worms. And if you have a healthy vermicompost bin, then you definitely know there’s lots of love between the worms, too. But how exactly do our worm bins become so populous? Red wiggler worms are frequent reproducers. If conditions in the bin are ideal, each worm can produce up to 7 worm hatchlings per week. And because red wigglers are hermaphrodites, with both male and female parts, every worm in your bin has the potential to lay and fertilize eggs. When a red wiggler worm matures, it develops a swollen band near its head called a clitellum that stores the eggs and sperm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Reduce the Amount of Water Used When Composting - Save water by using rain water</image:title>
      <image:caption>Water conservation is an important concern for all homeowners and gardeners in California these days, especially in Southern California as it gets into the warmer summer months. Using compost in your yard and garden helps to reduce the amount of watering that your plants need by improving soil structure and, thus, the soil’s ability to retain moisture and get it to the roots. (Read more about this concept in Biocycle’s recent articles: Part 1: Recycled Organics As Drought Resilience Tools &amp; Part 2: Urban Drought Resilience Tools.) Composting activities, particularly active, “hot” piles, also require some water to keep the materials moist and produce optimal conditions for decomposition.</image:caption>

For even a single day, setting aside the amount of organic food waste you produce in your kitchen into a portable caddy or bowl separate from the trash receptacle can be an eye-opening endeavor. If you commonly throw organic waste such as food scraps or leftovers in the trash can, it’s commingled and you don’t really know how much is getting thrown away. Separating organic materials is a simple start to give you insight into how much waste you are generating.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When you think of San Diego County, horses aren’t usually the first thing that come to mind, but we do have the second-largest number of horses in the state (only Riverside County has more).  As beautiful as they are, there are few ways to turn money into manure faster than having a horse. Horses can create up to 50 pounds of manure per day! Horse owners have the unique problem of having to dispose of this manure and composting is an easy and economical way to do it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Recyclable Materials Breakdown</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many of us have run into confusion around recycling, not sure what is recyclable and what isn’t. Well, it’s not just you, recycling is complicated. This is mostly because the term recyclable is pretty complicated. While anything can technically be used as a material for something else, whether something is recyclable is different from something actually getting recycled. Recyclable is a gradient of the potential, from VERY likely to get turned into other things, to very unlikely to get turned into other things.</image:caption>

We can reuse materials that were meant to be disposed of, giving them a second life, or we can choose materials that were meant to be reused and make sure we take good care of them so they can be used many many times.</image:caption>
