I felt this years challenge was quite a challenge indeed, however it felt good to do it again and see how we can all always improve no matter what happens. Ecology has to be put to the front scene: Pollution and greenhouse gas emissions have fallen across continents in a few months.
"It’s safe to say that no one would have wanted for emissions to be lowered this way. Covid-19 has taken a grim global toll on lives, health services, jobs and mental health. But, if anything, it has also shown the difference that communities can make when they look out for each other – and that’s one lesson that could be invaluable in dealing with climate change" said Martha Henriques, BBC.com

We got to see a video of piglets at Hawthorne Valley Farm! We wish we could see them in person...

Entering week seven of this lock-down, home time. It has been a good time to look inwards!

We aslos watched Dream Big and it was quite inspiring for our kids! It made them think of what they want to do "later" and opened so many great discussions! We also wanted to watch the pollinators movie but missed the date!

Today we wrote a letter to Mother Earth, watched a few talks about the history of Earth Day and had so many lively discussions! We walked to the post office to get our mail, meaning we did not use our car at all today... like most of the days now... And we watch our garden slowly grow under the green houses despite the cold weather!

Learning about the Green New Deal tonight!

We've been very busy this week creating new garden beds and tending our seedlings!

We've been busy creating new garden beds, tending our seedlings, composting, and reusing as much as possible. We've had lots of meatless meals this week, and we're so excited that spring is here!

We are thinking about growing food - planting seeds, taking care of seedlings, and looking forward to the delivery of new veggie seeds soon. Seeds everywhere!
