April 30 at 1:54 PMLAST DAY! Good job everyone, can't wait to see where we end up placing and how big our final impact was!

April 30 at 1:53 PMI learned that okapi calves don't poop for the first month to two months of their lives. This helps protect them from predators until after they've gained strength and some independence. I love okapi because of their unique appearance and because they are elusive. When I first got Zoo Tycoon on PC in like 2001, they were the first animal I...

April 30 at 1:47 PMThe world doesn't nave an endless supply of water, and there's only so much filtering you can do, so eventually we will run out, so wasting water has a big impact on our supplies. There are several water companies that also steal water from towns across the world, leaving the local people without water, so you have to do your research to make...

April 30 at 1:44 PMI love the outdoors! It's nice to step away from the modern world consumed by technology and the need for attention, and head into the mountains for a hike or to camp, or even just leave the house and go in the backyard to take in some sunlight. If you've seen the movie Wall-E, that's exactly what I picture the earth like in the future - fat...

April 30 at 1:40 PMThey provide our food for us! These essential workers can't protect themselves from human actions such as pesticides and destruction of their nests, so their numbers are dropping drastically.

April 29 at 9:24 AMThe more familiar you are with your surrounding area the more likely you are to take care of it and advocate that others do the same. I feel like this is especially important for kids who can grow up with a sense of responsibility instilled in them through learning about the world around me. I just moved so I'm spending A LOT of time learning...

April 29 at 9:17 AMMy favorite environmentally friendly habits: *Reducing my single use plastic by using plastic wrap and plastic baggie alternatives like beeswax paper and tupperware. *Buying veggies that aren't wrapped in unnecessary plastic, bonus points if it comes from a farmer's market! *Cutting meat out of at least one meal a week. Also a...

April 29 at 9:06 AMThis happens to me in retail stores most often. I associate the grocery store with needing my bags (especially at Aldi...) but it doesn't always occur to me if I'm at Target getting a bathing suit and I usually end up getting a disposable bag :( I keep my bags in my car trunk but maybe I should keep at least one on the front seat so I have to...

April 29 at 7:47 AMI plan on line drying some laundry outside on this beautiful day. I have really enjoyed seeing my power bill decrease since I started using natural forces like the sun and wind to dry my laundry versus the electrical expenditures of a dryer. I still use it if I have to but I try not to need to!
