Lately I’ve been leaving my phone at home when I go on walks. While I used to like having it with me to take pictures, be able to text etc it’s amazing how much nicer it is without it. I feel like I’m more present in the moment and can just really enjoy nature.

I am hoping this is true! And that other cities will adopt the policy!

I do not use any herbicides or pesticides. Herbicides eliminate necessary habitat plants, not just weeds. And pesticides should NEVER be used: they aren't just poisonous to insects - they are poisonous to air, water, soil, and ALL life. There are many natural remedies that can help control pests.

I leave the leaves every fall, even though the wind tends to blow much of them into my neighbor's yard. I like to rake them into a pile and then mow them so that they break down faster.

Recognizing other's contributions builds trust and cooperation. When I tell someone I am impressed with something they did, or that they made my day better by their contributions, I am telling them that they are valued and that their actions matter. No one enjoys working with someone who is always negative or never acknowledges their input!

Resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and remain strong in the face of adversity, stress, or challenging situations.

Resilience is often characterized by flexibility, perseverance, and...

Our company is preparing a report about Advanced Air Mobility. It is exciting to think about the opportunities for this emerging field. But after reading about the AAM corridors that are necessary for AAM use, I have to wonder how this increased air travel will affect bird and bat populations, especially when thinking about high-frequency...
