About Us
My name is Aaron and I am the owner of www.compost-bin.org. This website was developed to help build an awareness of the benefits of composting, as well to give the author Mario Lopez (see “Composting Articles“) a voice on the internet. Mario’s writings on composting are fresh and complete, he studied the subject with the same intensity he has for martial arts so I know you will enjoy them! You also will find the latest in composting news displayed on our homepage as well as interviews with experts in this interesting field. My plan is to make this the #1 place to go for anything related recycling organic materials.
My first experience with, composting, was a magical experience. My father would always take my brother and myself to the Pow Wows and go camping on the weekends. At the Pow Wows, to the sound of a drum and over the campfire light at night, we would hear stories about ancient warriors, heroic shawmen, the spirits and nature itself. We learned how to deal with our wastes in a spiritual way. We learned that we are one with nature, that from nature we came, and to nature we return, and no amount of ambition or greed could ever change that.
I never thought much of it after growing up, until my third year at the University of Sao Paulo. It was my vision quest at age 12 that took me to Brazil. The quest, has brought me thus far, I speak Portuguese fluently, tell enchanting stories in both languages, and walk the path of a true warrior. Composting, martial arts and college all went into developing that path. A warrior, as with the soldier or the fighter, in a time of war, is a lethal killing machine, effective and unstoppable. But what makes the warrior different is that unlike the soldier, who, in a time of peace has no purpose but to follow orders, and the fighter merely that of an exhibitionist, or entertainer, a warrior has a vital role in society. In a time of peace, the warrior is a hunter, a fisherman, a farmer, teacher, a scientist or a leader. In a time of peace, the warrior is something that neither a soldier nor a fighter, ever are. In a time of peace a warrior is useful. Useful to his people, both in war and peace, that is a true warrior.
