April 25 at 11:33 AMI checked the web and found that Kohl's is a big supporter of solar energy. I have shopped there in the past and had hoped to get there during the EcoChallenge, but was not able to do so.

I am grateful for this discipline of noticing more carefully what is thrown away and will probably be more mindful of waste in the future.

April 24 at 11:34 AMWe probably eat so much meat because we can afford it. Also because we have grown up in a culture that believes lots and lots of protein is part of a healthy diet. We need to start thinking of meat, not as the main course in a meal, but as an important side dish. Eating smaller portions less often would be a relatively painless way to wean...

April 24 at 11:31 AMWe only have one world and we depend upon its viability to live. I want to repair the damage that we have done to this world and restore/retain as much of its health and beauty as I can for future generations of humans, animals and all growing things.
