    Just read about a school campaign project for kids to promote a new community habit : to have vehicles around schools stop idling their cars; especially parents picking up their kids.
    Not that I’m in a position to make this happen but I’m trying to remember to turn my car off when waiting in traffic.

    I will visit our farmers market monthly this year for fresh produce. And plant my veggies. Just added mushroom manure to my beds.

    Learning about rewilding in parts of the world is so encouraging! And the innovation of growing seaweed gardens is great!

    Got sidetracked with care issues and other obligations and couldn’t find time to do any reading. I’ll remind myself to set the intention for tomorrow.

    How did being mindful of vehicle idling change your perspective on fuel consumption and air quality? What other transportation habits can you adopt to reduce your environmental impact?

    I didn’t use my car today. Chose to stay home.
