    I reviewed MA recycling info for a student education session I am conducting later this week. It is important to keep up on current info in one's state and town to optimize what is recycled and not cause any inadvertent contamination. I am also focused on REDUCING what I consume up front!

    It's startling to see how much of a carbon footprint my family has! Ugh. We will do better!

    I learned I use much more water than I thought. However the questionnaire said my water footprint was low. I will run my dishwasher only when it is completely full.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Land + Forests Borrow Before I Buy
    How did you participate in the sharing economy? (Consider posting a photo!) What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

    I used to collect big art books from the major exhibits at the art museum. Now I request the exhibition catalogs from the library and look at them that way. I don't need to own the books, just have access to them.

    I believe my small efforts will make a difference! I’m a team member at Church of the Advent’s Creation Care Ministry and I’m preaching on Earth Day Sunday April 21 re: creation care and climate change.

    How did you try to catch the release of microplastics in your laundry? What did you learn in the process?

    I have purchased a cora ball for starters. And I am already a huge fan consignment and second-hand stores. After learning more about sustainable and eco friendlier textiles, I will do my best to be a mindful consumer on the occassions that I consider buying something new. I also want to support companies that have strong social and ecological commitments. I LOVE our textile recycling in town and I make sure that I get every scrap of textile in there that I can!

    Where did plastic show up on your life that surprised you the most? What plastic alternative products did you discover you may switch to?

    I've switched over to Dropps household products and Who Gives a Crap bamboo toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels. Also took advantage of their subscription services.
