    What a month - the challenge took me into the woods, let me meet greet neighbors (at social distance) and let me interact with Bardians and our partners around the world. Thank you for helping us achieve some of the global goals; especially good health & well-being!

    My local food pantry (Gather in Portsmouth NH) Has an amazing food recovery program. They rescue tons of food from local businesses and farms that would've been wasted and give them to people in need. What they aren't able to give away they compost. The best environmental solutions are the ones that also address social problems, and hunger is a...

    Here's the earth poem I wrote: Remind Me Grandmother Sea Let me rest as the waves exhale Wrap me in the scent of salt and life Remind me I am a wild thing Bark and Branch Bower me in green with a carpet of herbs Press a mossy cheek against my footsteps Remind me I am a wild thing Air, quick and darting Fresh from singing on mountain...

    I had no idea New England cottontail rabbits were endangered, or that this rabbit and many other creatures require young forests with lots of new trees and brushes to thrive. My mom and I are going to plant some bushes and young trees at the edge of our backyard to help grow rabbit habitat.

    Today my daughter and I took a walk in the rain and pulled these items out of the woods and brought them “Curbside.” She’s emailing the town to see if they can get them to the landfill

    The best eco-habit you can have is VOTING! I encouraged my Facebook friends and fellow BardE3s to sign the Environmental Voter Project's Voting Commitment Pledge.

    I've been taking only the most direct routes to get from place to place and driving less than I have in years--one positive aspect of social distancing!
