This is my Curation Page for the week of **February 19th - February 25th**. I will be featuring some of my best finds for new writers posting on the topic of sustainability. The tags I look for deal with earth friendly living, including intentional communities, recycling, climate, homesteading, eco-building, ecology and whatever else pop up. The Minnow Support Project has multiple curators that pick five posts from under-valued minnows each week to highlight through msp-curation. This way MSP and PAL can promote new writers and content creators on Steemit, and in effect reward them for doing a superior job. In my particular curation, I try to concentrate specifically on newer authors that write sound articles on a variety of interwoven topics. Hopefully I can recognise a different set of people than the other curators in order to boost recognition and appreciation of new Steemians. The following posts are my **Sustainability** picks for this week: --- ![B8D58079-206D-497C-AACC-CDE77852CD40.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSgt1VEg7dquqgexsFQaQTChWGAt8u9Rfc4ejo39ghapi/B8D58079-206D-497C-AACC-CDE77852CD40.png) _{from [How to setup a new worm compost bin](https://steemit.com/vermicomposting/@quochuy/how-to-setup-a-new-worm-compost-bin)} --- My first entry is from uber energetic Oz author The Little Worm Farmer aka [quochuy](https://steemit.com/@quochuy), entitled [How to setup a new worm compost bin](https://steemit.com/vermicomposting/@quochuy/how-to-setup-a-new-worm-compost-bin). This guy is non stop, with 27 posts about worm farming and vege gardening since he onboarded 20 days ago. Follow this up with [How to feed your compost worms](https://steemit.com/vermicomposting/@quochuy/how-to-feed-your-compost-worms), or sink your teeth into his latest, [Growing Okra for food or as a medicinal plant](https://steemit.com/gardening/@quochuy/growing-okra-for-food-or-as-a-medicinal-plant). ___ ![thought-2123970_640.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYqDQsYRoXYZHpkxi7SMyse3fQDi2epKXdXDzRuKx9ARP/thought-2123970_640.jpg) _{from [Why raising awareness about renewable energy matters](https://steemit.com/awareness/@lenka-r/why-raising-awareness-about-renewable-energy-matters)} --- Brand new steemian [lenka-r](https://steemit.com/@lenka-r) dazzled me with her thoughtful and well written first article [Why raising awareness about renewable energy matters](https://steemit.com/awareness/@lenka-r/why-raising-awareness-about-renewable-energy-matters). The author presents a valid case for proactively educating our children and friends about energy awareness, then laid down two more posts about geothermal in [How Does Geothermal Energy Work?](https://steemit.com/geothermal/@lenka-r/how-does-geothermal-energy-work). This is someone to watch! --- ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PiIc2abYkqpsLEBS2EM_288F2KPk9qDDMYgYq-kIwSC0cGCI-yvBnnAmlGXBHtdawTcbmmF8AeQMqM80uUYOfdLdlHGV5tNCmGvO1XMIS0Uch1_U6sw09iV1fPrt8-vMTG8PZ6DbMY94l_6ML-N_XIr539j7exQ5XMXre6G4qcQkUMGauBn8wsjk_d64LX8l2cb9cFnYiiLv247Zo6ZBq1G0NyTfRh4SQ6yEpPJC3xyJnMFqTiPOi8a_Z4cTOPgEz3RQoknOKc1YhotpCx272jem26rlVbBxQAfmcHbm2QbqgnJRFv9Vtyb1UPKeN5XJ_vmI6PulAiGxlYmMOCPWdX6YiuD5_0kRNFFBY41SOBA_ixFQZgUIpRI7joZot296oMjgqHPPtDunHhxn3dYhxt9CgMYWGPlGG5N2_BN7ugj12VM8nanWVAY0sNT0pjuqUaNlalX1ztFie2KtZ2AXTizBL6ACJDk-3aZjMos0ROzn7TBdCl41bFwmM-rCGxcvpr-BjZ9bpu0CYS_Lz6QQ7KCr7UctU6fJgg7wOI9cjwdCb4uq3g17xx1ZvKNZ9oPXIAyAGc0BQQMBxVsRloEBuv0B1WZ6PzyG1EZ4loQ=w904-h678-no) _{from [Up Date On Seeds Starts And Sweet Potato Slips](https://steemit.com/homesteading/@hopfarmnc/up-date-on-seeds-starts-and-sweet-potato-slips)} --- [hopfarmnc](https://steemit.com/@hopfarmnc) is up next with two articles, [Up Date On Seeds Starts And Sweet Potato Slips](https://steemit.com/homesteading/@hopfarmnc/up-date-on-seeds-starts-and-sweet-potato-slips) and [Planted 4 Types Of Raspberries Today](https://steemit.com/homesteading/@hopfarmnc/planted-4-types-of-raspberries-today).

Discussed are zero waste cleaning kits, upcycled raised beds and wormy composting experiments. Also enjoyed the concept behind an ongoing post series in [Upcycle, repurpose, zero waste ideas...](https://steemit.com/idea/@movement19/upcycle-repurpose-zero-waste-ideas) Awesome! --- ![IMG_20180223_204430_544.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZGSN3rNNX4B7UZXA1FzH8N1D2mQQ3Q1ZFzuK3viuzKUn/IMG_20180223_204430_544.JPG) _{from [RENEWABLE ENERGY REVIEW: CASE STUDY- BIOMASS COOKING STOVE](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@rharphelle/renewable-energy-review-case-study-biomass-cooking-stove)} --- In his article [RENEWABLE ENERGY REVIEW: CASE STUDY- BIOMASS COOKING STOVE](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@rharphelle/renewable-energy-review-case-study-biomass-cooking-stove), Nigerian author [rharphelle](https://steemit.com/@rharphelle), explains how he became involved in studying biomass cooking stoves as an aid to his grandmother and others like her in developing countries. His hope is that they might avoid health and safety issues with a more efficiant and affordable system to cook with. A cultural history, advantages and detailed description are discussed. Well done! --- ![IMG_1910_01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbbad1bXZj4YQ5fi6CZA1U1F2PK7C8nSPDmHxMJ4HF2xe/IMG_1910_01.jpg) _{from [Walkerland & The Mad Tin Hatter (Why We Became Homesteaders](https://steemit.com/homesteading/@walkerland/walkerland-and-the-mad-tin-hatter-why-we-became-homesteaders)} --- **Honorable Mentions** Below are a few interesting articles and exceptional posts I found that either do not fit in to a category or did not get first pick, yet I wanted to mention.
