    Writing notes to people gave me the chance to reflect on their influence on my life!

    Today was amazingly productive! Danna, Carl,  and Dennis helped make these waste bins for the Cornbread Festival. Super excited about our presence and impact at the event this coming weekend. 😀

    So,  I talked to my mom today and she shared some awesome news with me!  My mom has noticed and asked about my low waste choices and started making changes in her life too!  And yesterday HER mother in law got to talking with my mom and was inspired by her and all she had learned about from me that she's no longer going to buy styrofoam products for her office and home!

    Tonight for a vegan, whole foods meal I made a caramelized leek, onion, and potato "gratin," and it was yum!

    Today was Harvestfest and we killed it!  Diverted tons of waste from the landfill today,  and hopefully some folks took some lessons home.

    Folks need to stop caring about their lawns unless they really spend a lot of time out there. I'd love to see more homeowners and neighborhoods shift to local plants and trees with the type of growth that doesn't require so much water, fertilizers, and maintenance. Better for the environment and better for quality of life wrt less time wasted maintaining areas.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Say No to Plastic Straws
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I actually can't think of any single-use items I use regularly...it becomes a regular mindset pretty quickly.
