I am terrible at sewing to mend holes so I limit the opportunities to just socks so no one sees my horrible skills. Still, there are pairs of socks that I really like to wear that when they get holes, it is better to mend them and give them some more life and just throwing them out.

Reducing meat based proteins in my diet has been a fun challenge. Finding new and sustainable ways to fuel my body for working and working out has been an interesting challenge.

I participated in our clean up activity at work. What a fulfilling event! It is so nice to have a direct impact on ways that people can better enjoy the outdoors.

Today, I will commit to limiting and trying to eliminate one time plastic packaging use.

What a great session! Change is hard and I really liked the sharing of change models as well as the idea that small incremental changes done by many people can lead to larger change when multiplied across many people and across time.

I have learned quite a few different ideas this week regarding how to make small changes to my habits that will in the long run add up to larger improvements in overall sustainability. I started with limiting the time elapsed between starting my car and driving. On colder mornings, I would let my car idle for several minutes before driving....

We recently had solar panels installed on our home. Its exciting to watch how much energy we are producing compared to our consumption.

Hello! I am happy to join the team and look forward to making a positive difference towards our global environment.

Being aware of news and information about sustainability is the first step in making positive change.

By being connected to the environment and engaging with it, you are reminded of how beautiful and how fragile it can be.
