    Today I hosted 16 women at my house and taught them how to plant a planter box to grow veggies from start to finish. We had so much fun and I was able to share my knowledge about using natural pest repellants, natural fertilizer and how to build a low drip irrigation system.

    Last night at our community meeting for our subdivision, I was able to share the experience my husband and I had on our hike and asked everyone to do the same. We now have everyone being accountable in a group chat to show their LNT haul from local parks and hikes!

    Today I learned about our wild horses up in Mt. Charleston and what they are doing to protect them from tourists. Unfortunately people are allowing the horses to stick their heads inside cars and feeding them which leads to unbalance and potential harm to the animals not to mention roadside accidents. It was great to know that there is an active community focusing on their safety!

    Understanding the importance of our national parks/forests/eco-systems I wrote my NV leaders today to express the anger in allowing to continually build and drill on federally protected lands. To see the dismantling of these forests for more unnecessary and unaffordable housing is a disgrace.

      It's commendable that you're taking action to protect our national parks and forests. Expressing your concerns to leaders is a powerful way to advocate for the preservation of these vital ecosystems. Every voice counts in the fight against unnecessary development and drilling on federally protected lands. Keep up the advocacy!

    How did your experience go in trying an action to Leave No Trace? Did you notice others doing the same, or not? From a perspective of having empathy for others, why might people not adhere to the Leave No Trace principles?

    Yesterday evening, my husband and I took our dog for a walk and decided to bring a garbage bag to help clean up for those who don't understand the LNT concept. It was disappointing to see animal feces left in bags that are not biodegradable but just the bags in general are a disruption to the wildlife, same with fruit peels which are not native to the animals an eco environment climate. But rewarding at the end to see that we came back with a full trash bag and a clean trail!

    I was walking my dog early this morning and the new neighbors down the street were unloading their moving van so I made a point to stop and introduce myself and offer any assistance. The wife and daughter love my plants and flowers in front so I invited them to come over and view the backyard whenever they want!
