Ally Holschen 4/23/2019 7:35 PMI read an article about Local, Indigenous, and Traditional knowledge and practices. It explains in the article that the way to succeed in this is to make a starting pledge to help yourself to get started. Then you share what you know through social media and other ways while also sending it to local news teams. Lastly you should become a partner through an organization. Tracking and learning your process through this experience helps you succeed more with it in the future. -

Ally Holschen 4/23/2019 7:15 PMLate July about 30 of my family members decided that we are going to Destin, Florida for a vacation. We all live near one another and haven't bought the tickets yet so I suggested to them that we should carpool and take fewer cars and to just drive instead of pay a ton of money to fly. Each of us have pretty big families separately so it would've been extremely expensive for tickets so they agreed that they would do it for our family and that they are going to see if the rest of my family is okay with it. -
Ally Holschen 4/23/2019 7:07 PMToday I discussed with both of my parents that we need to recycle more. We have in our kitchen a drawer that pulls out and there is two trash cans. We have recycle bags, but never use them in the same way as our trash bags so we decided to use the back one as a recycle bin and the front one as a trash bin which has helped us a lot.
