The challenge kept me present to my individual behaviors as around meals and food waste. Much of what I chose I was doing, but not realizing it.  I can up the anti on my consciousness of eating vegan more frequently and being more consistent with eating less animal based products.  I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I can continue to move in that direction.  Yesterday I attended a Climate Change conference at St. Joes University sponsored by my township's Nature Conservancy and learned that I have an organizational partner in my goal of eliminating single use plastics in our township--the Lower Merion Conservancy.  I have volunteered to partner with them as a community advocate including distributing a survey to my township friends, neighbors and community at large which I will begin doing today. I have also established connections with our township Environmental Action Committee and will be participating with their sustainability sub-committee as a community advocate doing community education programs within the township.  I will be participating in the Upper Darby Earth Day (outside of my township) celebration with the Citizen's Climate Lobby this coming weekend to talk with people there about climate change and legislative initiatives to reduce carbon emissions.  I will be doing this again the following weekend in Narberth (in my township).  These are all opportunities to get people in my community to attend Drawdown intros and workshops which my husband and I are just beginning to plan.  So all in all this has been a productive and rewarding 3 weeks in making a difference in my community.

Sorry team, but I couldn't post my actions yesterday and today, it isn't possible to enter yesterday's activities, so we can't fill in what we did yesterday, today. It was great fun. Thanks to everyone.

This has been great fun, as always!  Thanks everyone on our team who participated and learned so much about the positve ways we can contribute to a sustainable future.

I went to a lecture on indigenous people here on the North Shore of Boston.  Learn about what is happening about changing the holiday of Columbus Day to another title.  Discussion and feelings varied but very civil.

Went to a lecture on our local native Americans.  Met great people and want to go to another lecture next week to hear another talk.
