    Why did I join?  To help the team and increase my understanding of the part I play by my choices and how I can, even in small ways, protect the environment.

    Now that it's spring in MN, I'm driving half-way into downtown Minneapolis.  I walk in over the Stone Arch Bridge that crosses the Mississippi River into downtown.  It's such a beautiful walk - yesterday I even saw a bald eagle!  Walking is the best - both stimulating and enjogable.

    They ALL motivate me, but knowing I'm wasting money by tossing out food really bothers me.  I hate wasting food, and am trying so hard to only buy what I know I will eat within a few days.

    I love supporting local farmers around the metro area - I get fresh food, and the farmers broaden their support base.  It's a win-win situation while working for the same goal.

    Great!  I'm trying to cook at home more, using brown rice and locally sourced food.
