We live in a newer development subdivision and the lots across from me are not yet developed. They accumulate a significant amount of trash blowing over from the highway (it is VERY windy out here). I couldn't take it anymore one day and just grabbed a bag and started cleaning. Several neighbors walked by and they all committed to bringing a...

I visited a historic orchard in my area and learned all about heritage apple tree in my county. The efforts a small group of passionate individuals are making to create a database to find and save as many varieties of heritage apples as possible are impressive. I then attended a Green Drinks event they were sponsoring and won my very own...

I was surprised to find out that I had a lower water footprint than average, even though my individual results for things like showering and leaving the tap on during the day were higher than the average. It turns out that my driving, meatless meals, and not having pets that I feed lowered it a bit. I'm interested in doing more to lower it some...

Being out in nature always makes me feel better because it reminds me there's more in this world than what's inside my house, the internet and my head - neat plants, interesting landscapes, bodies of water, etc.

My answer is honest but seems silly to me--I guess by this point I should suspect more products I use have more chemicals than I realize. I think the laundry products were the most surprising. And the dry cleaning! I was happy to see there are several options to make my own cleaning products. I'm looking forward to doing more of that now that I...

This definitely expanded my understanding of the disparity that exists already and how much worse it could get within the next 15 years. Water justice isn't top of mind, although I do think about it more with the more frequent periods of drought. It does help me weigh personally how I use water (not to take my access for granted) and it has...

I often use baking soda and vinegar when cleaning.

I learned there is an old quarry south of my Village. I was lucky enough to stumble across it while at an estate sale. The property owners gave me access and I found an Ordovician stromatolite, which is spectacular!

I learned there are Native American burial grounds in the Village I live in. A local high school student worked with a historian to develop an information sign. They are now working with the Village Board to get the sign installed.

Beautiful morning at the dog park ☀️🌳
