Team Green

I shared this true story to my daughter's honor society course. When my great grandmother was alive, her education took her to the 8th grade. After that society told her it was her duty to work at the family home and prepare to find a husband to take care of her. Though she was a brilliant writer, wore pants in the early 1900's, and fought...

Making conscious choices about water use, like taking shorter showers or fixing a leaky faucet, are a small, manageable act of control in a world that can often feel overwhelming. Conserving water can also be a form of mindfulness, like watering your plants is nurturing them or being mindful not to just let the tap water run unnecessarily. When...

When shopping for trees at the nursery, I was sure to inquire about native plant options. They were instrumental in helping me make selections that were perfect for my yard, neighbors, community, and the wildlife in my area.

Today is my 1st work anniversary, and I celebrated it with two other team members who started on the same day I did last year. We all celebrated each other! We were all happy to see that each of us was still here.

Participation and engagement is so important, not just during the challenging times, but at all times so we're ready when challenges inevitably arise again.

Birds, hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, etc. (I want to note that I live out of the city and have lots of land surrounding me, that allows me to do this.) This year I've also hung several...

I feel it’s very important to schedule and attend medical, dental, eye, or other check-ups to maintain overall health, catch potential health issues early, and receive personalized advice for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I feel relieved after completing a check-up, as it allows me to take control of my health and make informed decisions...

Team Green! Let's go! I enjoy logging in everyday and seeing those team points add up!

I had no idea that pollinating animals account for nearly 350,000 species globally! They are critical to plant health and diversity, which in turn supports ecosystem functions such as separating and storing carbon, filtering and regulating water, air and soil, preventing soil erosion and pest extermination. .
