I watched PBS Plastic Wars and discussed the film and what the film misses with a sustainability group in Calumet.

I organized a panel discussion for my classes to show them varied career pathways that incorporate environmental sustainability.

I only use bar soap to avoid plastic packaging. I gather the bits when most of bar has melted away and put them in a drawstring cotton bag in the shower. Then I can use it like a soapy washcloth and not waste any of the soap.

I think I deserve points for doing all my laundry by hand in the tub and letting it air dry. Saving energy saves fresh water.

I just made a huge batch of kim chi and am now peeling 30 heads of garlic to freeze. I am going to be mindful about preserving (freezing, canning, fermenting) half of my CSA share this year for winter nourishment.

I started a Bokashi bin to ferment (pre-compost) my kitchen scraps. When they are ready, I will bury them in soil in plastic totes and grow veggies in my totes of soil.

I have been researching how to grow sprouts and just ordered seeds and a mesh lid for a Mason jar.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area while following CDC guidelines for social distancing.
