Guten tag,
In today’s issue, we have two green tips, both sent in by brilliant rise readers as follow ups to past green tips.
Green tip #1: Mac vs PC - when you buy a Mac, they email you a FedEx shipping label to mail in any old computer equipment for recycling and it's free shipping, just deposit it at a FedEx
Green tip #2: Composting tip - take some leftover PVC drainage tubing (most construction sites are happy to give you what's left over from their projects, so you're already recycling). Drill 3/8 inch holes every 6 – 12 inches or so all the way through the pipe (both sides). Lay some of the pipe every on the ground (about 9 inches apart) and then add additional tubes on top in rising criss-cross patterns. Now just build your compost pile on top of the pipes and make sure the ends aren't covered; the air that circulates through these pipes will speed up the decomposition and eliminates the need to turn the heap over with a rake or shovel. No fuss, no muss, fertility abounds. If you use pipes with a smaller diameter, then put the tubes somewhat closer together to get enough air into the pile.
