Park City and Wasatch Back News
Our community knows a lot about sustainability at this point. Many of us compost, thanks to increasingly convenient composting options.
No matter your composting experience, it can always be helpful to get a quick refresher on the rules and importance of composting!
Composting is separating your organic waste (like food scraps, shells, bones, and yard waste) from the rest of your trash and recycling so that it doesn’t end up in the landfill. Composting is important for several reasons.
First of all, it repurposes food waste into nutrient-rich soil, which is re-implemented into the earth, creating new life. Additionally, around 50% of the volume of our landfill is food waste, which has long-term impacts on the environment.
Food waste in landfills is not able to biodegrade and instead emits methane, a greenhouse gas around 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, exponentially increasing global warming.
When composting, there are many things you can do with your organic waste. You can compost it on your own (which entails breaking it down and repurposing it) or you can have a composting company haul it from you.
Unfortunately, the state of Utah does not mandate composting, so households have to rely on businesses to take care of composting.
Luckily, in Park City we have the Zero Food Waste Initiative. This initiative, run by Park City Community Foundation, is trying to achieve zero food waste in Summit County by 2030 through the use of curbside composting.
To participate, you can sign up for you’re own compost bin and weekly pickups from Momentum Recycling on the foundation’s website. Let’s keep our land green and clean!
Recycle Utah, your community non-profit drop-off recycling center, provides these weekly tips. Visit their website for more information: www.recycleutah.org.

Analysts are watching for a PI price breakout as the network’s founder gears up for a major industry event at TOKEN2049.
Pi Network’s token PI PI $0.36 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $2.90 B Vol. 24h: $22.30 M is testing a key resistance zone at $0.34, and a sustained close above this level could trigger a major price rally. The token has mostly been trading sideways in the past week, but analysts are watching to see if bulls can potentially reverse this weakness.
This price optimism comes at a time when Pi Network’s founder, Dr. Chengdiao Fan, is set to speak at TOKEN2049 in Singapore on Oct. 1–2, 2025. The session will explore how blockchain technology can create real-world utility and leverage Web3 opportunities.
Dr. Chengdiao Fan, one of two Founders at Pi Network, will be a speaker at the TOKEN2049 conference, which takes place on October 1-2 in Singapore! https://t.co/npzT9pDUiJ
As one of the largest crypto events in the world, this conference is a great opportunity for Pi Network to…
— Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) September 8, 2025

Fan’s high-profile presence adds to the anticipation surrounding Pi Network’s future. The network secured Gold sponsorship status for the event last week, enhancing its visibility among investors and developers.
Notably, the conference is expected to attract more than 25,000 community members from all over the world. The event’s speaker lineup includes top executives such as Binance CEO Richard Teng and TRON founder Justin Sun.
Prominent figures like members of the Trump family are also expected to attend the event.
While many community members welcomed this development, others remained skeptical, arguing that the project should prioritize strengthening its fundamentals. This comes as Pi price has been facing major downturns in recent times.
Users report that the testnet’s transaction activity is almost nonexistent and mirrors the underused mainnet.
Pi Network is facing a serious dilemma! Has everyone noticed? Recently, the Pi testnet (see: Figure 1) is almost unused. Before the open mainnet launch, each block on the testnet had dozens of transactions! Now the testnet usage rate is almost the same as the mainnet (Figure 2).… pic.twitter.com/q7eSLw0uiL
— Dr. Pi (@Pi_Coins) September 7, 2025

Meanwhile, PI exchange volumes are declining, liquidity is drying up, and governance participation remains low. These frustrations have resulted in a loss of $16 billion in the new crypto token’s market cap over the last six months.
Still, some analysts remain optimistic, forecasting a potential parabolic rally in the mid-term. At the time of writing, PI is trading around $0.346, showing no major movement over the past day.
On the daily PI price chart, the Bollinger Bands are narrowing with the price consolidating around the mid band (20-day SMA). This suggests low volatility and a potential breakout soon.
A close above the upper band near $0.35 could confirm bullish momentum, leading to $0.40 as the next target.

The RSI is indicating that PI is neither oversold nor overbought, leaving room for either direction. If the price breaks below the $0.32 support, bearish pressure could extend toward $0.30.

As grocery e-commerce grows, independents are missing out on an essential shopping channel. Learn Mark Baum’s 7 tips about omnichannel shoppers.
September 17, 2025
Even as grocery e-commerce has grown exponentially, enticing more and more shoppers to buy food online, many independent natural products retailers have retained a relatively strong base of loyal customers. By sticking to their values and continuing to provide exceptional in-store experiences, they’ve maintained steady foot traffic—enough to make some feel justified in pushing e-commerce to the backburner.
But independents’ days of ignoring the omnichannel phenomenon (and not suffering for it) may be limited. An astounding 90% of U.S. consumers now purchase groceries both in-store and online, according to data from NielsenIQ and FMI—the Food Industry Association—and these are not just supermarket, big-box-store and club-store shoppers either.
In the natural and specialty channels specifically, about two-thirds of consumers grocery shop both in-store and online, per NIQ and FMI research, while around 10% do it all online. Just under one-third of natural and specialty grocery shoppers don’t buy any groceries online—but that percentage is shrinking fast, says Mark Baum, FMI’s chief collaboration officer and senior vice president of industry relations. Meanwhile, the already large omnichannel group is expanding—also fast.
“When independents say, ‘online is not a big issue for us,’ they are ignoring a growing trend,” Mark Baum, the CCO at FMI, says. “You need to be aware of the ways consumers are shopping, defining the path to purchase, defining value. And as the industry continues to evolve, the many ways to shop between channels and platforms will evolve as well.”

In short, omnichannel is the new way, and Baum says independent grocers should not merely accept but embrace it. “The omnichannel shopper tends to be your best shopper,” he notes. “Online shopping generally doesn’t cannibalize the basket, per se. Instead, it’s accretive.”
For this and many other reasons, “I think all independents have a great opportunity to reach the omnichannel shopper,” Baum says. “You don’t have to be a deep-pocketed chain to capitalize on this trend. Every independent operator, regardless of how many stores or where they’re located, should be looking at opportunities. There are a lot of partners out there, so you don’t have to go it alone.”
In fact, independents have an important edge over their chain competitors. “These retailers are stitched into the fabric of their communities in ways that major chains often are not,” Baum explains. “So, they have a better opportunity to personalize the overall shopping experience.”

Here are seven useful tips for nailing omnichannel.
 
Mark Baum, the CCO of FMI, offers actionable tips for independent grocers to tap into omnichannel shopping.
According to NIQ and FMI, omnichannel is growing across all consumer groups. That said, those who prefer online grocery shopping tend to be younger adults, young parents, urbanites and exurbanites. Among millennials and Gen Z, about 25% prefer to purchase groceries online, compared to slightly over 20% of Gen Xers and just shy of 15% of boomers.
“And now you have Gen Alpha coming into the equation,” Baum says. “You can do the math and figure out where the trend will go.”
For now, Baum advises independents to really focus on Gen Z throughout their omnichannel strategy. “They are a huge generation, very influential and their spending power will increase exponentially over the next five years or so,” he explains. “They are the most digitally engaged and probably the most influenced by social media. Plus, a lot of Gen Z still lives at home, where they have a huge influence on their parents and household purchases, so that is key.”
Providing a seamless online experience is incredibly important, if not imperative, for omnichannel success. “Make sure your site is very navigable and tied into the equity you have in your banner or brand,” Baum says. “Make it a powerful tool, not just a platform to browse; make it an extension of your team in reaching the consumer.”

This is where point-of-sale and loyalty data become clutch. “All of that first-party data is so important for understanding your customer so that you can offer up curated experiences,” Baum says. “If you have a newsletter or circular or do email blasts, tie that into your online offering as well. Those things don’t cost a lot of money—they just take a little time and consideration.”
Also keep in mind that the online experience doesn’t end once a shopper enters a physical store. Many people today use their phones while perusing the aisles, Baum says, whether to help locate items, comparison shop or read more about products piquing their interest. “In the future, there will be a much greater opportunity for independents to interact dynamically with their consumers online and in-store simultaneously,” he says.
 
There are upsides and downsides to working with third-party delivery services. Independent grocers need to weigh their options and decide on what is best for their brand. Credit: CANVA
Although some natural grocers use their own employees to pick or deliver online orders, it’s more common to outsource one or both tasks to an independent operator such as Instacart, Door Dash or Uber Eats.
“These third-party providers have become much better at understanding shopper needs and fulfilling orders,” Baum says. “This is great, because, as a retailer, you want to excite and delight your customers and meet or exceed their needs.”
But there’s a downside to that too. “I might be a little concerned about watering down the equity in your banner or brand,” Baum says. “When that driver shows up to a house wearing a logoed shirt that’s not from X independent retailer, that sends a subtle message.”
Therefore, retailers should weigh the outsource vs. in-house equation carefully—and continually. “Obviously, cost and labor are factors,” Baum says. “The consumer used to pick, pack and deliver their own groceries, and now you need to figure out how to do all of that cost-efficiently. For independents, that is probably a crux issue.”
All things considered, however, “if you can outsource a turnkey operation, keep costs down, make the omnichannel shopper your best shopper, make it accretive to the basket and make a bit more money, then that’s probably the most cost-effective way to implement your omnichannel strategy at this point,” Baum says.
All of this can add up to major opportunities for natural independents wanting to up their omnichannel game. By touting their wealth of high-quality wellness offerings online, making it simple for shoppers to purchase these products virtually and perhaps even offering auto-replenishment or subscription services, natural retailers can meet omnichannel shoppers’ needs while holding their own against encroaching competition.
Natural products retailers typically have rich assortments of nonfood products such as supplements, personal care, household cleaners and home goods. These same categories tend to be “gateway items for online purchasing,” Baum says, since most are shelf stable and don’t provide a sensory in-store experience like foods can. Also, once consumers have found a supplement or skin cream they love, they’ll often buy it again and again, says Baum, something that can be easy to do online.

Nonperishable, nonfood items may be gateway goods, but by 2025, the gates have blown wide open, creating even more runway for natural independent to excel at omnichannel. 
In the past, many people hesitated to purchase produce, meat and other fresh items online, preferring to select their own in-store. Some of that hesitancy remains, but Baum says fresh produce and meat have both become top-selling categories online—a direct result of retailers having earned consumer confidence in their picking and packing acumen over time.
“Even pre-COVID, we started seeing a lot more leafy greens in those [virtual] baskets,” he says. “That means retailers have done a great job of understanding shopper wants and needs—knowing whether they like their bananas green or yellow, knowing how they like their cantaloupes, etc.”
Conventional players are doing it; natural products retailers can too.
“Technology is changing everything, and the pen of AI will be written into almost everything we do in the future,” Baum says. “For independents, it’s important to understand how this will impact your business, both from an omnichannel-shopper standpoint and enterprise-wide.”
Now, that doesn’t mean jumping on every new technological advancement that emerges, no matter how dazzling. “But get informed,” Baum says. “Determine what technology solutions are for you over the next few years. If some of this technology looks amazing but really has no application to your business, then move along. I encourage our independent operators to think of it that way.”

Valour Pi (PI), an exchange-traded product (ETP) built to track Pi Network’s native cryptocurrency, has struggled to gain momentum with little market activity. 
Despite the lack of traction in the ETP, Pi Coin is beginning to show strength. The coin has surged to its highest level this month, fueling hopes of a broader recovery.
BeInCrypto previously reported that the Valour PI ETP launched in late August on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market. Trading in Swedish kronor with a 1.9% management fee, the ETP was hailed as a milestone for Pi Network’s integration into traditional finance.
However, over two weeks after its debut, the product has struggled to generate investor interest. Trading data from Spotlight showed declining volumes, with activity at times dropping to just a single trade per day. This signals a lack of enthusiasm in the European market. 
In contrast, Pi Coin itself has shown renewed momentum. BeInCrypto’s latest analysis suggested that a decisive move above resistance at $0.3469 could open the way toward $0.3587. Meanwhile, a drop below $0.3391 might trigger a retest of its all-time low at $0.3220.
The bullish scenario materialized as PI surged to $0.36 during early Asian trading hours, marking its highest price this month. According to data from BeInCrypto Markets, Pi Coin recorded a 1.73% daily increase. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.352.
This upward move is not happening in isolation. The broader crypto market has also seen an uptick, with all major coins in the green. Moreover, optimism around Pi Network’s co-founder appearing at Token2049, combined with growing altcoin season sentiment, may also be supporting the recent price gains.
Nonetheless, the modest increase is not yet sufficient to reverse the broader downtrend. Still, that has not deterred some investors from betting big on PI. According to data from PiScan, a whale wallet has been accumulating substantial amounts of Pi from the OKX exchange.
The whale bought 441,549 PI just a few hours ago and now holds a total of 373 million PI. Such large-scale purchases often signal optimism about a token’s long-term potential.
“Pi is going to print the largest green candle in crypto history, hands dow, and you will be proud you never gave up on PI,” a Pioneer posted.
Additionally, Pi Network has implemented a strategic reduction in its mining rewards to enhance token scarcity. A recent post from The Times of Pi Network on X announced that the base mining rate for September was cut by 1.23% to 0.0027405 PI per hour. 
🚨 September Decline 1.23%
0.0027405/h ⛏️ 📉 https://t.co/nW3oIseE8R
At this rate, it now takes over 15 days to mine a single PI without bonuses. This move could stabilize prices by tightening supply. For now, Pi Coin’s price surge reflects a confluence of whale accumulation, supply management, and market optimism, and whether this momentum will be sustained remains uncertain.

CME’s new options on Solana and XRP futures expand institutional crypto trading capabilities, building on impressive early adoption metrics.
CME Group’s announcement to launch options on Solana and XRP futures represents a significant expansion of institutional-grade cryptocurrency derivatives offerings. The October 13 launch will include options on both standard and micro futures contracts with flexible expiry options across daily, monthly, and quarterly timeframes.
The trading metrics revealed in this announcement are particularly noteworthy. Since their March launch, Solana futures have traded over $22.3 billion in notional value across 540,000 contracts, while XRP futures have seen $16.2 billion in notional value across 370,000 contracts since May. August 2025 set records with Solana futures averaging $437.4 million in daily volume and $895 million in open interest, while XRP futures averaged $385 million daily with $942 million in open interest.
These impressive adoption metrics indicate strong institutional demand for regulated cryptocurrency derivatives beyond the established Bitcoin and Ethereum products. The endorsements from major liquidity providers like Cumberland (DRW) and FalconX underscore the market’s need for sophisticated risk management tools as institutional cryptocurrency exposure broadens.
This product expansion strengthens CME’s position in the cryptocurrency derivatives space and signals growing mainstream financial acceptance of a wider range of digital assets. The addition of options contracts provides traders with more precise hedging capabilities and strategic trading opportunities, likely attracting increased institutional participation in both Solana and XRP markets.

Buoyed by a series of positive legal developments and institutional interest, Ripple’s XRP token has surged to over $3.00, reaching its highest level since early 2018. The surge in XRP investment and trading activity has not only driven up its price but also prompted holders to seek new income streams beyond capital gains. To this end, many XRP holders are turning to BAY Miner, a cloud-based cryptocurrency mining platform, to convert their token holdings into a stable passive income.
BAY Miner’s cloud mining platform allows anyone to earn cryptocurrency rewards without any hardware or technical expertise. Users can purchase mining contracts utilizing BAY Miner’s renewable energy-powered data centers through a simple mobile app. The platform handles all complex operations in the cloud, with daily USD payouts directly to users’ accounts – a model that protects returns from volatility by settling rewards daily in a stable currency. Importantly, BAY Miner is fully compliant with US and EU cryptocurrency regulations, giving investors peace of mind that their income is legal and secure.
Alex Thompson, CEO of BAY Miner, said: “We founded BAY Miner to bridge the gap between the average investor and cryptocurrency mining. With XRP’s resurgence, our users are enjoying unprecedented daily returns and compounding. We’re thrilled to see people earning thousands of dollars daily in a transparent and compliant manner.”
Many BAY Miner users now report five-figure monthly incomes, with top participants earning over $58,996 per month. These results come from leveraging the platform’s core features:
For example, a $10,000 contract generates about $165 daily (~$5,000/month). By stacking multiple contracts and compounding returns, many investors scale their monthly income into five figures. BAY Miner’s real-time dashboard makes all earnings transparent, and users can withdraw or reinvest funds at any time.
“I never imagined I could earn over $50,000 per month from crypto without being a trading expert,” said one early BAY Miner user. “Thanks to BAY Miner’s daily payouts and compounding, my XRP investment now delivers results beyond expectations.”
