April 25 at 9:24 AMI'm thrilled to be able to contribute to these four women trying to grow their businesses and support themselves and likely family as well.

April 25 at 9:21 AMI'll be spending the day in our state's capital pushing for legislation and policies that move our state towards renewable energy. In Illinois, wind is the most economical renewable.
-
April 25 at 9:09 AMFrom my quick 30-minute read up on microwind, it seems that the pricing of this technology needs to come down before it is realistic in the US. But for developing nations, this technology seems to be beneficial right now in bringing small amounts of electricity to places off the grids and offering power besides diesel and kerosene. In places...
-
April 25 at 9:07 AMI am inspired to act on sustainable energy because of my great concern about the future my grandchildren face. Human life as we know it is threatened. I'm 100% committed to renewable energy.

April 25 at 9:04 AMIt sounds like wave and tidal energy is too expensive to compete. There also is the issue of disrupting marine life. Perhaps sometime in the future is can be useful, but for right now wind and solar seem the way to go.

April 25 at 8:24 AMSupporting women-owned businesses is easy for me — it's two birds with one stone! (GASP! Need a new reference phrase! I love birds :-/ ) Anyway, supporting women has become a huge issue to me along with climate ever since the Women's March reinvigorated me last year. How can people not be feminists?! What's trickier to see is that supporting...

April 23 at 11:41 AMThis 5 1/2 minute film (link below), 'Expired? Food Waste in America' by Harvard Food Law and Policy Center shows the huge problem we have in the US and the havoc wrecked by arbitrary dates on food. It's one thing when these dates throw an individual consumer off, but food pantries and whole grocery stores have outdated practices that are...

April 23 at 11:25 AMI love this challenge, I'm just sad I haven't had as much time to give it as I'd hoped so far. I'm pushing for a strong finish and excited for what I will yet learn on behalf of our planet! -jL

April 23 at 11:24 AMStraight from the USDA: "In an effort to reduce food waste, it is important that consumers understand that the dates applied to food are for QUALITY and not for safety. Food products are safe to consume past the date on the label, and regardless of the date, consumers should evaluate the quality of the food product prior to its...
