    I've switched over to paperless billing for nearly all of my regular expenses. Best part: no filing!

    Looking forward to taking a walk in today's 70+ degree weather! Trees are leafing out and flowers are blooming...spring in Oregon is here!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Composting
    Producing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?
