Drawdown is an earth-friendly methodology that leads to reduced food waste, results in carbon sequestration having a beneficial effect against climate change, and encourages good stewardship of agricultural lands.  The most interesting fact I learned is the significant impact that a plant-rich diet, including reduced consumption of meat, will...

I have planted 10 more little seedlings in my backyard.  Hope the rain establishes them well this spring. :-)

Carbon sequestration, therefore creating a benefit against (i.e. reversing)  climate change; rebuilding soil organic matter; increasing soil biodiversity; a holistic approach leading to healthy soil.

My sister-in-law sent me a ham, which I served for Easter dinner, and there's a lot left over. It was already frozen, so I don't want to refreeze it. Finishing it off this week is throwing-off my Daily Challenge to eat a meat-free meal. At least I'm not wasting food by leaving it in the fridge and forgetting about it!

Is there any carpooling for people living in Mercer Co. ?

I had not heard of the term "silvopasture" before.  I believe that the biggest advantage of silvopasture is that the animals graze in harmony with their pasture lands while keeping forests available for timber harvest as well.  This appears to be excellent animal and forest husbandry at the same time.  And the animals (cows, sheep,...

I usually look and/or listen for signs of wildlife, especially birds.  I enjoy getting the two dogs out for strolls and enjoy watching them sniffing and checking out their world of sight and smell.  As for infrastructure, our immediate area is pretty good with respect to making walks enjoyable or possible.  There are state, county, municipal...

I live about 4 miles from work. I could commute by walking or bicycling but I don't feel safe walking thru Trenton. I am also in my late 50's, and although I'm active and healthy, I am fatigued at the end of a work day. I need to replace my aging car this year and am looking into buying a hybrid vehicle. My short commute is perfect for an...

I believe that just getting the developed world to go veg is only part of the solution to ecological sustainability; growing crops on an industrial scale is environmentally disruptive and too petrochemical dependent. There needs to be a reduction in the global human population or we will eat ourselves out of house-and-home. Unfortunately,...

Hoo boy! I just researched how my upscale diet contributes to tropical deforestation. Yes, I eat beef, but I am cutting way back on it in my diet. I don't use palm oil anymore, and even coconut products are not guilt -free. Tea, coffee, almonds, pistachios, cashews, quinoa, you name it - it seems that whatever I eat causes environmental...
