April 24 at 7:40 PMSo here is day 22! I have so enjoyed this journey - I've learned more about climate solutions, and we've opened a few doors at our little elementary school to continue this work!

April 24 at 7:36 PMMy vision of a sustainable community includes a lot less 'screen time', more time spent working and playing together, less time indoors, more time outdoors. In a sustainable community, we are more supportive of each other, we know each other just a little better. This way, we will build the connections and the political will needed to make...

April 23 at 7:22 PMMy diet impacts deforestation because I consume these top four contributing foods: palm oil, coffee, chocolate, and meat/dairy/eggs (soy crops grown for animal feed).

April 22 at 11:43 AMLoved sharing information with my class about recycling- and reducing their waste and reusing. They are excited to learn and inspired to make their own small changes.

April 22 at 11:23 AMRegenerative agricultural practices increase carbon rich soil. This allows roots to grow deeper, nutrient uptake to increase , water retention to improve and builds pest resistance. All Makes for a better garden!

April 22 at 11:14 AMI really want to prioritize my family and our experiences over “stuff”.
-
April 22 at 11:13 AMLearning about the difference between use by/ sell by/ best by dates definitely increases my awareness that many products do not need to be tossed out. They are safe, even though the date warns otherwise. Fruits and veggies that aren’t quite as attractive can still be just tasty and healthy when cooked. Also like the idea of stashing fruit in...
