At the Bella Center in Copenhagen, the COP15 climate summit continued as Canada received its 7th Fossil of the Day Award, for doing the most of any country in the world to BLOCK climate action. I spoke here with presenter Katherine Trajan of British Columbia, who was somewhat ashamed to have had to present the Fossil of the Day Award to her own country so many times. Katherine along with many other Canadians I interviewed in Copenhagen, urges Canada to change its ways.

AKA vermiculture or vermicomposting: this is all about using worms to eat up your food scraps and then using their poop to feed your gardens. I first learned about it from my obsessively compulsively neat and orderly friend Sasha, who kept a worm bin in his pantry. It seemed easy enough, until I started it myself in my backyard. My roommates have one word for my version: gross. I caught up with Katherine Rolinson who is a certified master composter, who showed me how to clean up my gross technique. So what's your take...Green or Gross? Do you have a green or gross idea? Send it!
