So it all started when we took a vacation in Texas....
Dave kept saying "we are going to find the next big thing while we are here!" His confidence in this really got me optimistic but by the last day when nothing really got us inspired, I really started to give up....
Since it was our last night in Tx, we made a little trip to Austin to visit an old friend of Dave's named Jason. In college, Jason started a composting program on campus (Bobcat Blend). While talking to Jason about how important composting in Tx has become, we realized THIS was it!
I immediately started doing research & realized that the Tulsa Metro area doesn't have a true composting facility....
We knew this was something that not only interested us personally, but would make an impact on our community...
***background info: Dave & I were "Green" before it was cool...we were both part of recycling programs at our Elementary schools...we compost & recycle much of our own waste...and (funny piece of info here) the first night I actually met Dave, he told me (for no apparent reason) "I love soil"...at the time I honestly wondered if he was "ok" lol. who knew?!
We are so excited to be able to take our love for the environment, sustainability, & (in Dave's case) soil and make a positive impact on Tulsa.
This project is definitely about community in many ways....so if you have any questions, comments, advice or would like to learn more about composting PLEASE don't hesitate to ask!

P.s. Thank you Jason for letting us borrow your idea to continue your efforts in Tulsa!
