I will spend at least 30 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

Go for a Daily Walk

Support Local Food Systems

JAMIE WALLACE 4/16/2019 9:42 AMI (tried) to read this article about cement alternatives but it sounds like a foreign language to me.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000888461630775X
The other article said that fly ash could be used to replace energy-intensive cement but fly ash is a byproduct of coal. I don't see how that's any better. I am still all for this new photovoltaic concrete!!!!

JAMIE WALLACE 4/12/2019 5:36 AMI started a kitchen compost and my garden is going well. All my seedlings are growing up strong! -
JAMIE WALLACE 4/02/2019 10:48 AMCould we get together as a team and discuss how we can reduce all the waste and plastic-ware we produce from all the lunch and learns? I am hoping this is possible.-
JAMIE WALLACE 4/12/2019 6:47 AMGood idea Matthew! I don't know if we can get everyone to use the actual silverware we have in the kitchen. I still think some people just like to throw away forks and spoons. -
Matthew Ormsby 4/12/2019 6:39 AMlooks like I am late on this. remove the plastic ware from the table and hide it. find out/ask our presenters to consider non-single user prepared restaurants. -

JAMIE WALLACE 4/02/2019 10:01 AMThere should be a "growing your own food" challenge. This is the first year I'm attempting to grow my own vegetables (which is about 50% of my daily food intake) in Baltimore City. :)-
JAMIE WALLACE 4/03/2019 7:16 AMYes you are right! I will add this to my actions. Let's hope for the perfect rainy spring. -
Megan Beveridge 4/03/2019 7:05 AMAwesome! I tried to do that last year, but all that rain was terrible for the tomatoes. I think there's an option for locally produced food, which that would qualify as.

JAMIE WALLACE 4/02/2019 9:55 AMThe challenges this year are a lot more specific and intense. I think this round will be more educational than action based for me.
