    Little things can make a difference especially when aggregated across many people!

    I have more questions about carbon footprint calculations, and how they will impact changes to my lifestyle. How will I need to change to lower my impact, and how can I encourage others to do so too? I have more research to do (this is a good thing).

    Food represent about one third of my largest impacts to our carbon footprint, as do most things with multi-layer processes. Where was it grown and how was it grown, processed, and manufactured? How is it packaged, and earth friendly are the materials used in that packaging (for instance can the cardboard be recycled)  depending on how the box...

    Great learning experience - a lot to think about, a lot to plan and a lot to put into action.  I have found locally we are rather sustainable with a relatively small carbon footprint - travel to and from work blows that apart.

This can be...

    I spotted one of these beauties in my backyard last week and decided to learn more! Meet the wood thrush. I was so lucky to see one because they are near threatened due to deforestation. Wood thrushes are known for having beautiful songs! Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcR6XrnD7Yc

    I can encourage biodiversity by planting more native pollinators, restarting my backyard compost (currently contaminated by blighted tomato plants), buying organic foods, choosing products not linked to deforestation, and using renewable energy sources.
