In investigating, found a great website on food storage, freezing and use beyond its best quality, as well as a bunch of other stuff. Check it out: www.savethefood.com

Food “expiration” dates are much more complicated than I realized. For one thing, there’s no federal oversight or standardization. It’s pretty much left up to vendors to decide methodology and terminology. But the gist is dates speak to food quality rather than safety. So don’t throw it out just cuz the food’s beyond it’s date.

Silvopasture. Makes so much sense!! Benefits farmers, livestock AND climate!

I run an environmental booth and I has started adding the appropriate Drawdown solution to my blog posts.

Today is our last day of the Eco-challenge.  I'll miss checking in daily but I'm so motivated to continue the important work that we are doing for our planet.  I'm gearing up for a campaign in Blue Ash, in hopes that my area can become a leader in sustainability. It may take a few years but I'm in it! What's next NWEI/Drawdown?

I have not been as good as I should have been with daily posts. I have had more conversations 2ith friends about recycling since this started. Another friend and I are experimenting with different types of, don’t laugh, cat litter disposal bags. Plastic grocery bags - not good! 

Eating meatless 3 meals each day of the challenge was easier than I'd thought.  While our household has cut down on meat a lot, jumping in and just doing it during the challenge showed how easy it is to do without!
