I know the person her name is Emily. She is looking to get a house for activist. I am looking to change the house I live which really would entail buying a place. I currently live in an activist house.

I LOVE my worms, and I am so excited to get others pumped up and ready for composting!
Have a great few weeks, and be sure to plan a visit to my "porchard" as I call it. Fruit trees are ALMOST as fun as worms- I'm sure I can get you hooked!
