    Trust -- will others try to take advantage of you by spamming you or stealing from you if you reveal what you have? Will they share your info more widely than you want? Time, convenience, control -- is it worth the effort to find, coordinate sharing, and will the equipment be abused?

    There are some great websites that help find places to recycle all kinds of materials/objects. Amazingly, they have good detail down to the local city level. In particular, I learned that there are other places in Corvallis besides the main recycling center that accept fluorescent bulbs. Probably this info changes frequently, but at least it is...

    Perhaps richer countries eat more meat because meat is flavorful and filling, easy to cook, and serves as a sign of wealth and mastery. And all that is reinforced by marketing and advertising! Unfortunately, eating meat makes us less sensitive to the needs and value of other forms of life. Spiritually, each time we eat meat we are effectively...

    I read and listen to old wisdom and new ideas about our problems, and identify things I can actually do about them. I talk about them sometimes with others. Eventually, I am finding opportunities to do some of those things. But I have to admit the prospects for 90% of humanity are economically, socially, and environmentally bleak. I often need...

    Nope, I'm definitely stuck. I can't open any new challenges. It says I can only have 5 open at once. But even after closing some, I get the same error message. The website is very attractive, and the content is great, but the navigation and interlocks are sometimes non-intuitive.

    I was having trouble understanding how to complete action cards, or start any new ones, so I watched the training video again which helped me realize there were no buttons shown. Then I re-selected an overall challenge to participate in, and now the cards have buttons which allow marking them complete. I'm not sure how the challenge selection...

    Greatly increased warm dry windy spells with fires and smoke spreading hundreds or thousands of miles during the summers. Greatly decreased snowfall in the mountains, often followed immediately by warm rain which deplenishes the snowpack.

    We need to be careful about paving too much area and accelerating warm, dirty runoff into the rivers.  We may need additional reservoir capacity to make up for the lack of natural snowpack storage. This would help sustain sufficient flow for river fish species and for agriculture in the summer.  We also may need to manage forests differently...

    In our region (Pacific NW), we are likely to have more dry periods, less snow, and more sudden and severe flooding periods. So we need to do things that will allow more water to be absorbed and stored during wet periods for slower release afterward. Things like wetlands/swales near parking lots, and green driveways made from broken up or...
