REFLECTION QUESTION
Land + Forests 30 for 30 in Nature

What have you noticed about how it feels to spend consistent time outside?

A 100 year old girlfriend lives in a care facility. Today, when I visited with her, I told her it was GORGEOUS outside. I asked if she would like to go out: she had not been since moving to this home a few months ago. We got her in her wheelchair and I pushed her around the neighborhood, pausing to enjoy the beauty of the sky, the flowers, the plants, and the songs of the birds. Nature provides joy, comfort, beauty, and proven healthful benefits.

My parents met in the Sierra Club in college. When I was young, when we went to the beach, we had to pick up trash on the sand before we could play. And I passionately believe that Adam and Eve were commanded by God, regarding the garden, to "dress it and keep it" meaning that we have a responsibility to take care of this earth. I was honored to practice what I preach and to serve on the founding board of the Orange Couty, CA, Board of Directors for the USGBC. And being in the industry, I am so proud that designers, architects, and manufacturers such as 3form can specify products that are truly sustainable! Our individual and combined efforts to make a positive environmental impact allow us all to enjoy views such as this, daily.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate + Air Calculate My Carbon Impact

Where in your life do you emit the most carbon? What change are you willing to make in your daily life to reduce this output?

Olivia Kinder 4/24/2024 12:13 PM

Probably with all the products I use. I changed my cleaning products to Origins of Clean. I use green, organic cleaners. I don't want to use chemicals that hurt the environment in my home, just to it rinse down the drain to be processed and cleaned again to be used somewhere else. I changed out plastic containers to glass. I even changed to reusable Ziploc bags instead of the one and done ones. We make sure we recycle everything we can so we limit what is going into the dump. My father was a homesteader so we really learned to use everything or find someone who could use it again. That's not hard to do with the family across the street that has 18 kids.

I've found vinegar to work pretty well at cleaning hard water marks off of shower doors.
