    I hadn't heard of silvopasture before, but it's a great concept and I shared it with my brother who is a farmer. It makes sense to have trees and animals sharing space, and mutually benefiting each other.

    If people reduced the amount of water used during summer months, all of our lawns would be dead, but there are plenty of native plants that are drought resistant and evergreen that could be planted instead of grass for beautiful landscapes. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Women and Girls Give a Microloan
    Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?

    Women invest more in their families and communities then men because they recognize that even small contributions close to home can make a big difference in the lives of people around them.

    Biking to work, even in the rain, is great, as I see my neighbors walking their dogs and I wave and say hi.
