I did NOT do well on this one. How do I work environmental advocacy into my routines?

I am LOVING my new composter vessel. It sits off the ground and has a handle that turns--much better than the static tub at my old house. It was really hard to mix the contents in that one. I notice how little solid trash I make by composting. 

All pollinators, not just bees, are crucial to the food chain and the ecosystem. Pollinators maintain native species by helping them spread, which buoys our ecosystems. 

I've tried to become more accountable for the environmental decisions that I make as a part of daily life. We've spent a lot of time and money improving the infrastructure of our home so that we're using electric appliances that draw from our solar panels. While we still draw from the grid for some of our power, maybe one of these days any of our 5 kids will move out and help to bring that into balance.
