My consumption of meat and eggs are potentially indirectly impacting deforestation because of soy beans causing deforestation and being grown to feed livestock. My consumption of unsustainably sourced chocolate also has impacts on deforestation too. And anytime Im eating processed food, I might be eating palm oil, without even  realizing it...

I've signed up to a Facebook group in my new neighborhood and signed onto the Ramsey county environmental newsletters. There seems to be plenty of ways to get involved in your own home space and on a larger community level!

This was super easy for me to find and install in our new home! The cool thing is that it is a dual head with Low-Flow, so it feels like more than what is actually flowing out. Also, cost wasn't much!

I think a lot of people don't realize the effect that animals farmed for food really have on the environment. of course people always talk about methane from manure but there are other issues there. 

How do I address my own despair about climate change? By focusing on the things that we have the power to do. None of us is powerless in this issue. Our actions as consumers, voters and as companies are the only way that we'll have a chance at solving climate change. 

I recently shared some info and a fantastic TED talk about how supporting women and girls can be a top climate solution. No one replied, but I'm hoping that several people saw and clicked and thought about this often-forgotten climate strategy. :)
