    We invested in an umbrella drying rack and wooden clothespins so we can save on electricity and at the same time extend the longevity of our clothes. The process of hanging the clothes is kind of therapeutic...but that's my personal opinion.

    This weekend I accompanied my girlfriend to Baltimore and visited so many cool places with eco forward missions!! I took a picture of this notebook/stationary company that utilizes elephant poo to make paper! So silly and interesting (:

    My wife and I are planning a new home. There are so many conservation options when building a new home. One of the best forms of construction is building a modular home. Home walls are built in a factory and assembled at the site. Modular homes have many eco challenge advantages over "stick built" homes assembled in the field. Modular...

    My 2025 Eco Challenge has been going pretty well! To be completely honest, "well" doesn’t necessarily mean I complete every single challenge perfectly each day. There are definitely days when I don’t get everything done. But I always try my best. Sometimes I forget to check in my daily actions on the actual day—either because of my...

When we think about pollinators, most of us think about bees, but there are so many other organisms, such as butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, bats, wasps, flies, and some beetles, that do their part without being recognized...

    My house is 25 years old, I bought it new, The foundation plantings in the front are starting to die. I checked and the life span of ornamental holly is about 25 years so I guess they are due. I will probably replants a different type of shrub maybe azalea. Native variety of plants are easier maintenance.

    In continuation of my carbon footprint question, to decrease my carbon footprint in the food section, I will eat less meat and buy more locally sourced produce.

    In my life, I emit the most carbon footprint when it comes to food. In order to decrease

    Love plants, grew up with a house full of them. I need to practice and lean the best times of year to plant certain things, and how to prevent pests such as whiteflies from taking over, while not using pesticides.
