The information I learned was mostly things I already knew about. It makes me feel good when I realize how I have seen or observed wildlife when I travel. The last time I saw wildlife in shows or circuses was when I was a kid. The past few decades, we have always seen wildlife in their natural habitat. In the South Carolina Aquarium of Charleston, the species they have there are basically in a sanctuary because they are injured and would not be able to survive in the wild. A similar thing can be said for our very own Ecomuseum here, in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue! The only exception is Omega park ... I'm not sure if they have good intentions because although the animals can be observed in their natural habitat, feeding them takes away from that true wild experience.

I contributed a bag full of used children's books to a neighbour's book swap "house" in my neighbourhood. I hope neighbours will enjoy the books!

We set up 3 rain barrels and it took a few days due to some complications. We installed pre-enjoyed rainbarrels, some of which needed some TLC. The spigot needed to be fixed and replaced using a special adhesive and then needed to dry. The actual setting up is pretty straightforward. One rainbarrel empties into our pond so the water which evaporates over time. The other two on the other side of the house are set up to drain into and feed our

I grew up in Asia where access to running water is not as abundant as here, so I feel like I grew up with habits that were conservationalist. For example, when I brush my teeth, I never let the water run. I always turned off the tap. Similar situation for dishes. I guess my change is that when I wash dishes with the tap, I try to not turn on the tap as strong, so the water is not as fast.

I am looking at perhaps purchasing a countertop dishwasher... And I would also only run that when the dishwasher is full.
