Another good day, with an enjoyable visit to the Central Library, the University to the People and Planet 'Better World Cafe' and then more pear picking.
I'd been booked to do a York Rotters 'support the Council Officer' job, with my favourite Waste Minimisation Officer Sara Goodhead, who has been tasked to try to get as many Council premises to start composting as possible. She wanted some help with getting the bin put in, so I agreed to meet her and two staff members at 11am today, at 'Explore'. I got there first and she arrived 5 minutes later with a box containing a Green Johanna composter, which can officially take all sorts of food waste including meat and processed food. She had to go and park her van and then we met up with a rather hassled staff member (the person we'd agreed to meet at 11 wasn't coming in til midday!) and Mick the Caretaker. We went round the back to where the bins are, and there was a mossy passage which looked perfect for a compost bin. I installed the bin, screwing it together as it is in sections, and between us we explained how it should be used and what could go into it.
During the afternoon I attended the University People and Planet 'Better World Cafe', presenting some info on York in Transition and St Nicks.
