    Today I went to a first foods celebration with the Rock Creek band.  The foods were totally local sourced -- salmon, local desert parsleys, choke cherries, bitterroot, huckleberries and even water was honored.  And shared with gratitude!

    Life got in the way.  I have been unable to follow through

    I really like this idea of maximizing energy and use from waste products.  This adds to the vision of a sustainable community -- best scenario would be no waste and makes its own energy and clean water.  Shades of the bubble cities of science fiction. I am part of visioning a co housing development that hopes to grow some of our own food and...

    I would like to have even more impact....After listening yesterday to Greta Thurnberg it is beyond time that we act decisively and reduce our atmospheric gas emissions. How to motivate and move us collectively?

    I do eat meat, but have given up dairy -- now wondering what are the impacts of my milk alternatives (coconut or almond milk)?   I am eating 2 -3 vegan meals a week encouraged by the Challenge and creating a habit to be more and more aware of these daily choices. I don't drink coffee, but do buy occasional red meat when it is in the last...

    My area lies in the Cascade Mountain range and is heavily forested.  As the years of drought and low snow pack add up, the health of the forests is threatened by insect infestation and forest fires.  In fact one careless spark has destroyed 50,000 acres of 100 year old forest two years ago. I was appreciating a large deciduous tree out my...

    Hopefully less waste!  I even found a Best if Used by date on a water bottle.  We are really in trouble if water expires!!  Of course we are all exposed to the plastic toxicity that is leaching into the bottled water.

    I am very concerned about plastics' life cycle as the mountains of undegradable materials mount up and end up inside other animals and oceans and us.  I find I am offended by people using bottled water and throwing away a container that can no longer be recycled by shipping overseas.  I wish we would ban the use of those plastics we do not have...

    This is a trip across the country to attend a conference in W Virginia.  Instead of a thoughtless expensive blimp and big CO2 balloon.  I will take the opportunity to travel on the ground and see the National Parks along the way.  Slowing down, touching the Earth.  Being where I am instead of anticipating where I am going.

    The EV transition is the quickest path to decreasing our largest climate and toxic emissions, even while saving massively by not buying gasoline or diesel fuel. See how Norway has incentivized EV purchases better than any other country. Learn how China is planning to set the pace of EV adoptions worldwide.
