Timelies all!
At home we have one recycling bin. At work there are a variety of bins.(Plastic, aluminum, paper, mixed...)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I have zero desire for worms. That would give my Virgoness the creepin' squiggins.
We recycle, use green cleaning products, try to buy earth-friendly but no compost. I am sorry, Earth. I cannot live with worms or stank. I am bad enough with the hate/gagging on the cat boxes, and I am only as on top of them as I am because I love my kitties. I know I would NOT feel the same about a compost barrel or pile.
I WOULD own a goat if we lived on land. Seriously, we had one as a kid. NPI. Damn thing ate everything. Got rid of it when it surreptitiously ate part of mom's dress...with her inside it.

We try recycling bins at work--though I have no clue if the people who pick up the bins actually bother to keep the stuff separate--but too many people go "Plastic trash bin--I'll throw anything in there" without bothering to see what's supposed to go there.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ha! I'm a Virgo but worms have never bugged me.
Goats do in fact eat pretty much anything. I love that you can hire them to eat your weeds.

You really didn't mean to insinuate that you used the goat to, well, remove your mother, right?

Plastic bags do gum up recycling equipment
Oddly, we're allowed to recycle plastic bags, but you're supposed to ....bag them up together, or something. But then put them in with teh rest of your recycling in the bin. I'm unclear if the recycling workers then have to like, pick that out as they toss the bin in the truck.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Goats are awesome. I love how when billy goats get excited they jump up and slam their foreheads together like Klingons.
I wonder if used kitty litter could go in one of the electric composters? If it were one of the flushable kinds, maybe?

I think some Virgo would be very admiring of worms -- they are efficient! Which is like god to Virgos.
Strangely enough, I would have no problem with maggots being used to eat away my (theoretically) decaying flesh; it's the stinky decayingness of compost that bothers me.
I know, there are less-stank ways to compost, but you always have to open the damn thing up. Or rake or some shit. Same reason I don't use clumping litter; I am not a stank-raker type.
I am a delicate fucking flower.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Theoretically I'd love to compost, but in truth, I just can't (sorry smonster). I can barely do the things I need to do now and adding another step into any single process is just not going to happen.
We had an appointment with our pediatrician today who ordered meds and supplies for us. We'll see what we get and when we get it.

Hah! No, I did not...although at 16, my answer might have been different.
She was standing next to the goat pen, talking, and it just reached out and casually started nomming on the hem of her dress. Ate a big chunk out of it, too, before she noticed. (It was the 70's -- it was a long skirt.)
