October 23 at 12:25 PMI thought that water filters could be recycled somehow, it's nice to see that TerraCycle takes them. And guitar strings! And plastic baking soda bags. And disposable gloves. And chewed gum. I'm going to rethink my home recycling system.

October 23 at 12:09 PMI know I eat too much sugar, so I chose this action to help me cut back. I started off okay, but there was a birthday and a couple other things that took me off course.

October 17 at 7:48 PMHmmm, well one thing I have been able to do (with the help of many others) is work with the schools on greening up their cafeterias. I will continue to look for those opportunities. Next, I hope to be part of the movement that brings large-scale composting to our community.

October 16 at 8:40 AMI'm headed to the Bioneers Conference tomorrow in San Rafael, California. I hope to meet the world famous Bill McKibben and Paul Hawken. Can't wait!!!

October 12 at 8:10 PMI've been decluttering for a long time. Part of my problem is getting the stuff physically out of the house. I refuse to throw anything in the trash unless it is beyond repair, so I end up with a huge pile of stuff waiting to be rehomed (donated, sold, or whatever).
