April 25 at 8:05 PMLearning about methane digesters was interesting and helpful. I didn’t know that much about them...methane is like a dirty word, but this was helpful.

April 25 at 1:11 PMFelt great to drop off 2 boxes of techno trash and electronics today knowing it will get recycled and is not going to the landfill.
-
April 23 at 11:06 AMSome things that I already do are refusing straws at restaurants. I also bring my own container to take leftover food home. What I want to focus more on is "Rethinking"...rethinking if I need something or if I need to get rid of something, what can I do instead of throwing it away (upcycle, reuse, donate, etc.)

April 13 at 6:06 AMEach person can make an individual impact by being more aware of their actions and the consequences for all.

April 12 at 5:33 AMWe've thrown out a lot of food over the years because we thought the dates meant it was not safe to eat. Now that I know the date isn't a safety issue, we will check the food first rather than just throwing it away.

April 11 at 2:24 PMI love to travel, so that is what I would do with the money saved!
