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?
A big thank you to Chantal Collins for inviting me to share in this eco challenge, you’re a rock star! Keep an eye out for upcoming “Bike to School Day!”
My lease on my current vehicle is up this month. I have vowed to buy or lease a hybrid vehicle for my next car. I am currently exploring my options in this regard. Will share a pic of my choice once I’ve finalized my decision. Welcome experienced hybrid owners thoughts on their current vehicle. Excited to begin this challenge!! WTG Rhinebeck
