Malinda and Doug Moore 10/18/2016 9:35 PMEight months of lobbying the condo HOA board, promoting composting to the unit owners, conecting Portland Office of Planning and Sustainability with the condo management company, resulted in the initiation of food waste composting services in our condo building this week. The inspiration came from being on Elizabeth Zavodsky's eco challenge team last year.-
