    in an effort to lower y garbage footprint, I started composting! Now to figure out how to get it properly mixed into my soil... I read creating a worm farm is a great way to turn your food scraps into garbage, does anyone have experience with this?

    Cold and rainy days stuck inside are great times to research local climate issues that may have fallen off our radars! I'm following gov't decisions on national parks and monuments right now!

    I collected over 2 lbs of plastic and metal from the forest over the weekend! One small step to try and help 😊

    So far I think my favorite challenge has been to start writing people again! This is something I have really lost touch with and miss a whole lot! I with technology being what it is, it is hard to remember the joy of a nice hand written...anything,

      Did you also count the actions that you are already doing?  Those actions definitely add up, too.

    What time I would have been driving I did not travel at all! There is no option for absolutely no consumption, so i went with public transit.
