April 23 at 1:08 PMI attended one session of the Salish Sea Conference yesterday and thought I’d share the link to recorded presentations! Some of them look super interesting.

In the documentary I watched about a tribe in Minnesota, they said something along the lines of "it's about people producing food instead of corporations." I think it's a really powerful message, and it definitely got me thinking more about the processed foods and non-organic produce...

April 1 at 7:04 PMPollinators help the environment by helping plants grow. It's important to plant native species and species that attract pollinators to encourage biodiversity!
