Ok ok not worthless!
So our skills aren't worthless. That's too harsh. They just aren't highy saught after at this particular moment.
But you know what I got to do today? I got to feed an elephant, and I learned how to compost using its manure. How many nurses get to say that? It was for a story I am doing on the zoo, and actually, I've become fascinated with feces lately...
It started with a dog park story I did about how dog poo is wrecking the grass in this fancy park across the street. Then I followed up on a man who works as a pooper scooper (he's got his own business!) and wants to educate the public about health and environmental hazards of pet waste.
Then I met a woman who uses Humanure to compost with and has the most amazing garden I've ever seen, right here in the city. Then onto the zoo... and later this week I'll be watching how businesses in town compost their food waste. There's a program set up where the garbage service collects it and ships it to somewhere outside Seattle where it gets composted. Fascinating!
