When I was a teenager, I used to volunteer for the local library. It was a nice way to spend some time, discuss with the regulars about their latest readings, and feel useful to the local community.

I’m involved in our local community garden. We have just completed expanding our compositing facility and have a couple of hundred households households using it. The amount of food waste that no longer gets sent to a landfill is pretty gratifying and we produce huge amount of ridiculously rich compost. All from an inner city location in a city of 2M+ people.
