I've had the opportunity to ride the metros in San Francisco and DC. As a tourist, it made it easy to move around in the city. I also enjoy walking through cities

A large portion of our plants require pollination (by pollinators) to make vegetables and fruits (and produce seeds to propagate). That's why it is important to have a thriving pollinator population to achieve this.

It is an Indian Recipe called 'Bhel puri', made of puffed rice, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, dates, Bengal gram, coriander leaf, coconuts, etc. It turned out very good. It is a little nerve wracking to try a new recipe but delightful when it turns out the way it is supposed to.

I have stopped fertilizing my garden and use gray water from my kitchen (those primarily used to clean vegetables and rinse almost clean vessels) for watering my garden as much as I could. The lawn is little less lush but it also leads to less mowing and reduced electricity use for my electrical lawn mower

I watched multiple podcasts regarding dietary correction and GMO education. I found out that humanity would not be able to survive with the current population that it has without GMOs such as golden rice, and that more GMOs will likely be required in the future once America's topsoil layer is depleted. I found this to be very interesting, because we often associate GMOs or nonorganic foods with negative dietary consequences. I would like to dig a little deeper into this topic to see what negative side effects (if any) have been associated with GMOs.

I am excited about how many great ideas have been posted! No one action will allow us to achieve our ambitious goals. I am confident that we can translate a lot of these great ideas into action.

Spending some time inside and on screens can be okay. But without a break from digital technology, we can become disconnected from what it means to be human. Our fight / flight stress responses become triggered. And we are not able to be as productive during the times that we are called upon to perform.
