Ground2Ground - Adding More than Value to Austin, Texas

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Criado Realty 0548772

On my 10K training ground there's new grounds, coffee grounds that is. Twice a week I run 4 miles around Lady Bird Johnson Lake which takes me through Festival Community Garden.  A unique concept to improve sustainability and promote cohesion.

A unique and innovative idea to reduce landfill, Ground2Ground partnered with the city to begin collecting used coffee grounds to enrich the compost material for the community gardens in Travis County. Adding used coffee grounds adds essential plant nutrients to compost while adding value to the city by greening it up.

Good job Austin!

Wait a second, 2 days in a row? This could mean you are back.... What a great idea for the coffee grounds, if you could use them in a vegetable garden just think of the new energy i would get from eating them?

That is so cool!  I love the fact that they include homeowners in the process, a community awareness project!
