City of Guelph - Community Race To Zero

"If you are 18+ and own an Electric Vehicle, take part in this 10–15 minute survey to help shape future charging infrastructure," writes graduate student Diana Shakhova.

I realized a new biking route to get to the movie theatre with less traffic. Also the route and location of what I call the "clearing" is known to me but I finally was able to get out to it for the first time this year and it didn't disappoint!

Probably because of ash borer. Hats off to the trails maintenance teams. The trails in Guelph are top notch and really save me... Even on those cold days...

I try to avoid packaging as much as possible but can always do better. I chose certain products based on packaging, like oatmeal in paper container versus plastic or even better yet, bringing my own containers to the bulk barn to eliminate any packaging.

I walk 5 kms, 5-6 days per week, mostly before I get ready for work :)
