This was harder to be consistent than I thought it would be. I found some of the documentaries really interested and I'm going to continue to find new ones to watch.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates

How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

Nilu Amali 4/27/2020 9:52 AM

It helps me reduce my food waste- which is very empowering. Food expiration has always been something that's very clouded and confusing to me- but knowledge is power and by understanding when meats, veggies, and fruits truly go bad will help sustain a healthy diet and reduce the amount of food that goes into the compost bin.

Action Track: Building Resilience Support Pollinators

Why is it important to take care of pollinators?

By supporting pollinators, you are inherently supporting the native biodiversity of your local ecosystem and ensuring its longevity. You uplift the animals and insects that thrive off the horticulture who then go on to uplift the reproduction of flora in the area. A positive chain reaction.

Went on another hike through Forest Park and did the second section of the Wildwood Trail from East to West starting at the BPA Road Trailhead. I did an out and back trip from there to NW Germantown Road. It had poured most of the day, but as soon as the clouds parted and the sun came out I was on the trail. It was quite muddy in places, but overall a great hike and the colors were so bright and vibrant. The 6+ miles went by rather quickly. Hope you like a few of the dozens of photos I took.
