Today’s pics are a reminder to me of how much I enjoy being a part of the San Mateo Composting toilet project. Heather – Jo – Maureen – Tracy and I have so much fun driving around town – brainstorming – photo documenting and putting the puzzle pieces in place.  Big shout out to the mission group from United Methodist Church of Johnstown Colorado who came down to help out. You did a fantastic job gathering statistics and mapping out important information in the community.
