    I'm afraid I had some trouble with this one, but hope that I finally figured it out. I tried many times to use Femme International site to order kits, but the site gave errors everytime I added to my cart, and I could not process an order. I emailed them to no avail, and there are few options to contact them. But I must confess it's been hard...

    While we use web sessions for many meetings,  there's a large contingent of clients who still prefer face-to-face. We need to do more to change this mindset and reduce air travel for short customer visits.

    Day 22 already? It has been fun and educational.

    Where do I begin?  Whenever I walk into a forest, especially with my kids, it's as if we have entered a religious place of worship.  A sense of calm, humility and reverence comes over all of us.  Of course there's also, maple syrup, beautiful fall colours, wood for fires, shelter from the rain and wind, leaves for artwork and mulch...

    The most motivating waste is the water.  To think that such a precious resource these days is going to waste on food that is then going to waste is hard to swallow.  Another factor in the need to tighten up food consumption and eliminate the waste and therefore the purchasing of extra food.

    At the beginning I wasn’t going to do this particular challenge to avoid the shame I didn’t want to feel.  But of course after knowing it was a challenge I couldn’t stop thinking about it.  So I decided I might as well go ahead and do it.  I will definitely be focusing on ways to eliminate the wasted food .  I hope to have $1500 in my pocket at...

    What does complete "actions assessment" mean?  When I click on it, nothing seems to happen.

    Sometimes I can find bamboo sheets in our community.  Otherwise I purchase organic cotton sheets from Home Sense.  I don't know of a business in our community selling sustainable alternatives except TP and tissues made out of bamboo at Harmony in Orangeville.  Anywhere else?

    I found a great resource put out by Food Rescue (foodrescue.ca) .  A poster that explains all about food consumption timelines.  My family learned that yogurt and cheese can be eaten up to 2 weeks past BB (best before date).  This will save us from a lot of food waste.  Glad to learn this and save some money and the planet! Check out this cute...
