-- Quote of the Day --
“It is not so much
whether a paint is labeled as washable, it is the finish that you choose. Flat
paint typically gives a more rich, elegant look – the look explodes more than
other finishes. The nice thing about flat paint is it is really easy to touch
up. An eggshell or satin finish has a bit of a shine to it and is easier to
wash, but you’ll see the touch-ups and scrub marks. …When it comes to choosing a
paint, you get what you pay for. …It might cost twice as much but you are
having to use half as much paint. The finish, the colors are absolutely
stunning. …You want a full spectrum paint – the color is more enhanced, will
change throughout the day, and will give a more full look.”
Jeanette Chasworth

The BioGreen360 food digester developed by WasteQuip is designed for indoor
use and can consume kitchen organic waste including fish and other meat. The food waste is
ground, heat is added to sterilize the product while it is churned. There is no
plumbing required because there is now water needed and there is no liquids
remaining. The end product comes out a spout on the side of the machine and equates to only about 10% of the volume of the waste that was put in –
the finished compost that has about 10% moisture left in it. The company now has 4 different models
are available that can handle 250-1,500 lbs of organic waste per day.
