April 24 at 9:49 AMFrom Giovanna's presentation during the ECOCHALLENGE Conservation Webinar, I learned that it's not just the quantity of individuals that remain for a species to be considered "healthy" and not "threatened", but also the occurrence of generically diverse variants that's important as well. It was an interesting and informative...

April 23 at 7:59 PMHoping for some good weather for our tree planting activity on Friday, but the forecast is for thunderstorms. Not too many days left in our Eco Challenge month.

April 23 at 6:38 AMThe hardest thing is how limited the options can be for trying to eliminate plastic. Many household products used to come in glass and cardboard containers, but that is rare now unless one seeks out a specialty retailer. Target and Walmart don't make it easy to be green.

April 21 at 4:32 PMI made a small pile of everything that would have gone in the garbage. It is small, but includes some recurring things like some packaging on skin care products I buy. I need to find an alternative that has less packaging than the actual container of product! And I will keep recycling and composting and saying no to things I don't really need.

April 20 at 5:54 PMIt was a chilly and windy Saturday so it was a good day to visit all the Earth Day vendor displays at a nearby mall.
