A virtual meeting is a much more efficient use of time & resources - it's 'doing the right thing,' per our core values.

Great FB live event hosted by Metro. If you have a chance take a listen. There's some great info. 

Great veggies make for a great meal, no meat needed.

We must continue to research and explore new waste management and recycling options in the wake of massive population growth to keep the planet live-able.

Logging onto that Metro feed about recycling NOW. 

If you want recycling tips, Metro (in Portland) is having a live Facebook chat now. Great information!!

I'm guilty of going to the store with the best intentions and buying food that ends up going bad because I'm not diligent in making sure a cook what's in the house. Lately, I've been finding creative ways to make sure and use everything I buy. BTW, would you actually eat this part of the zucchini? I guess you blend it up? :)

I have heard some info on biomass but didn't really understand what it was. I loved the story on the Burns, Oregon school that replaced their coal heat for a biomass solution. I was surprised to hear that on top of it being a more sustainable option it would also save them 80% on their heating...

Growing up we always had a "balanced" dinner that would include meat, veggies and some type of starch. It was just the norm. To shift the culture we need education and solutions for how to prepare and choose well balanced meals without the meat. Also I don't think most people have really thought about why they eat meat, they just do...

Sharing: The GB team watched a video on BioMass today, really interesting project in Burns, Oregon.
