“If I live to be 100, I will be alive in the year 2103. When you think about the future today, you don’t think beyond the year 2050. By then I will, in the best case, not even have lived half of my life. What happens next? In the year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday.

Looking forward to connecting with my town's volunteer group and help make sure our parks are clean to use for all.

It's also almost cherry season, so I already made a date with a friend to go cherry picking! Fresh off the trees and so much tastier and cheaper than the...

My dog has been enjoying EcoChallenge month as much as I have since we have been exploring new dog friendly hiking areas.

It's so beautiful here!
