Do you have extra boxes that don’t fit in your recycling containers? To help with this extra material, the City is piloting cardboard only dumpsters to add extra capacity for cardboard recycling during move in time. For the last week of August, feel good and create local jobs by walking or driving your cardboard to one of our 6 convenient, Cardboard-Palooza locations.

1) Simply remove all flexible film and Styrofoam at home

2) Find a convenient location on our map

3) Flatten your cardboard, and put it through the slot.

Find dumpster locations, dates, times, and further directions on our city’s student move out webpage under Cardboard-Palooza at the link in bio.

Bees love hemp! If the pollinators survive, humans have a chance of surviving: this is one of messages in the forthcoming AMERICAN HEMP FARMER film. And as you can see in this clip, there’s good news on that front: In field after field, our director Doug Fine ( @organiccowboy ) saw that bees can’t get enough of hemp pollen! Bees are the new Save the Whales, deservedly, and Doug writes this week that it was a pleasure getting dive-bombed by them and other pollinators during the several years filming of AMERICAN HEMP FARMER.AMERICAN HEMP FARMER premieres March 14 on public television stations across the U.S, and will also stream on the PBS app. Stay tuned here for more fun clips and updates as the premiere date approaches. And for a reminder in your inbox, you can subscribe to the free Dispatches From the Funky Butte Ranch newsletter at AmericanHempFarmer.com There you can also find Doug Fine's books and ebooks, and book Doug to speak at your organization’s event.  #AmericanHempFarmer #AmericanHempFarmerFilm #HempBound #TooHighToFail #FarewellMySubaru #goat #goats #pollinators #bees #soil #irie #hemp #FunkyButteRanch #NewMexico #Vermont #Oregon #MountVernon #IndieFilm #solstice #documentary #RegenerativeLiving #honey #organic
