Rights not roses. That we should count our blessings because we take a lot of right for granted.

Girl rising. Nothing terribly surprising as I'm already familiar, however it reiterated the power of education and how lucky we are. It was very sad.

Nations united. It was surprising to learn there are so many triggers to disaster. Interesting to learn that research has been done but action needs to be taken.

Minimalism. I learned that minimalism looks differently on different people. It's okay to have a bunch of books if they mean something to you. Having excess is so damaging to the earth.

MS Society. I currently volunteer with the MS Society and will participate in supporting riders for the Texas Bike MS 150 event as a volunteer coordinator. It was sexciting to learn about the events that happen all year and to hear the impact the events have on people living with MS.

Symphony of soil. The most intriguing and important fact is the relationship between soil, plants, and animals. I never considered the intricacies of organic farming before. I'll make greater efforts to support farmers.

I had the opportunities to volunteer for my local food shelter as a part of sunday school to make meal bags. I was grateful to be part of an organization that was helping to provide basic needs to people who don't have access to food. In the future, I would love to volunteer with an organization that helps homeless. I see many homeless people...

The recipe I tried was one I tried in college, but I changed it a bit to make it new. It was vegetable lasagna, but instead of using spinach and traditional marinara sauce, I used alfredo sauce and a variety of vegetables. I love trying new recipes (when they turn out good). :-)

I only plant indigenous plants and utilize mulching and shrubs and plants that do well in hometown heat and don't need a lot of water to thrive.

The lists weren't terribly surprising as I am somewhat familiar with nuances of produce and have chosen the organic route for some time. I've reviews similar list before, but I think it's best to revisit to keep the list and facts fresh.
