Change starts with ME

I am disappointed my employer does not offer ESG investments in the funds offered to us.

Too hot to pick up trash this afternoon. Will have to do double duty tomorrow after the cans get emptied and the parts that blow out of the garbage truck liter my neighborhood again!

It is sad to think a readiness plan is needed. Unnatural weather patterns, famine, loss of drinking water and social unrest. These were not the promises from my childhood.

I can always do more, but at least these new daily challenges have gotten me into a pattern that I can continue with.

I watched The Pollinators which was eye-opening about the importance of bees. It made me realize I should plant flowers that encourage bee growth, and also avoid using any pesticides or insecticides (I don't use these anyway, but it was an extra reminder to avoid them).

I really enjoy the actionable goals provided. It makes it a lot easier to do things to be more sustainable! Sometimes it can be hard to know what to do, but seeing the goals outlined makes it less difficult. I will definitely use the skills I've learned in the future!

I watched The Donut King on Netflix which is about a Cambodian refugee who paved the way for other refugees to come to America and open donut shops to make a new life here after the war. It is about how important food is and how food can bring people together and also save lives.

Low water plants, drip irrigation, wells around plants with mulch to slow evaporation.
