Thanks Mana, many Summmit County events are now making the effort to have zero waste. I attended a Land Trust function the other day that had cups made of corn, so they are compostible. They look like regular throw away plastic cups and drinking out of them, you wouldn’t know the difference.

Joanne–There used to be a farmer in MN that would rent out goats to clear land and weeds. What a great way to go Green!!

What a great way to control weeds! Some people burn the tumbleweeds here but I think goats are friendlier and more enjoyable to watch.

Teri, these goats are rented too. The company name is Golden Hooves and they go to lots of different areas.
Lynda, sometimes those “old fashioned” ideas are the best!
Ashley, I too, like goats better than burning. I wonder if they would eat tumbleweeds? They eat thistles, so maybe.
