Leisa Vandehey 4/24/2019 3:23 PMAlthough I've been participating in EcoChallenges for many years, I appreciate that this event provides a unique opportunity to focus on an area where I have fallen back into harmful habits, and provides a framework, inspiration, and support to try something beyond what I had even envisioned as possible. Thank you, NWEI, for these on-going opportunities for education and growth! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Social JusticeIndigenous speaker and activist Winona LaDuke says that, "most indigenous ceremonies, if you look to their essence, are about the restoration of balance — they are a reaffirmation of our relationship to creation.

Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge 4/23/2019 10:16 PMYes, I had heard about it. I think one of the biggest advantages is more nutrients in the crops. Also it really is beautiful! -

Calla Felicity 4/23/2019 1:01 AMFor Eater Sunday meal with the fam, I cooked organic, sustainably produced local beef with organic vegetables and potatoes from the local farmer at the farmer's market. I found salad dressing in a glass jar to use. We sent leftovers home in old glass containers ("pyrex" bought secondhand at a local store last year) held closed with rubber bands from produce which we save to reuse. Today I made dog food, which we make ourselves for dog health and well being, with locavore organic vegetables and turkey, and organic grains bought in bulk. For Easter baskets, we gave cotton napkins in woven shopping baskets. -
