    I revisited some information I had received previously from KCDEM (Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management); thought I would share a link to a book that will guide you through preparedness with one hour of planning/action each month for a year. Really good information: www.DisasterReadyWashington.com.

    What surprised you most about your water footprint, and how did it influence your perspective on water use? What changes can you make to reduce your water consumption, and how will these impact your daily routine?

    I thought that I was doing well with keeping my water use low. Wow! I did not think of all the other things that use water that I purchase. My three dogs increase my water footprint, and I never had thought about that.

    Stopped in at a local cafe I haven't tried before. Service was friendly, and the tasty bean curry soup hit the spot on a cooler PNW day.

    It is inspiring to hear the stories and learn about the actions of my colleagues on this platform. It gives me hope.

    As we come to a close for April's Eco Challenge, I want to reflect on everything I was able to complete this month and all that I learned. I spent a great deal of time this month learning about ways my family and I can be a little more self-sufficient when considering emergency preparedness. I now have a rain barrel, I learned how to turn off my water heater and use that water in an emergency. I bought solar radio and charger tools for my family, and we are starting our garden. I spent wonderful time outdoors just enjoying myself, my yard, local nature and my neighborhood. Even though I wasn't able to participate in Kitsap Bank's clean up event, I took a bag and my grabbers with me to a park and a golf course and cleaned up garbage everywhere I could. My family and I audited all of the plastic we use and discard. We have purchased glass containers for leftovers and reuseable water bottles to reduce plastic use. I have even shared some of my house plant cuttings with friends and neighbors as we discuss the need for plants in homes and gardens. What an amazing month! I am going to keep this going to see how much I can accomplish in the rest of the year. Thank you for this opportunity.

    Are there any eco-friendly ways to dispose of cat litter waste?

    Our company honored Earth Day with an annual event yesterday. It was a beautiful day, spent with wonderful co-workers, that I’m lucky went to call friends.

    Today was a great day! A large group of Kitsap Bank employees volunteered at South Kitsap Regional Park for an Earth Day clean up.
