Hello everyone, I decided to give it another try. I really believe in this website, and I enjoy researching and posting. A very nice friend and Colleague, Becca volunteered her time to update the look a little bit and make it a bit more accessible/easier to find on the internet so hopefully I will have a bit more traffic. Please, if you feel inclined, share the site with anyone who might be interested. That is the way to spread the…
I am going to take a good look at this book and see where I can make a difference 🙂 and one for the locals:
How are you? How have you been? I have not been too active on my site, I felt it was not really useful. I have taken on myself a good share of the suggestions I posted over the last 2 years (not all, some I tried and did not like) but overall the response to the site was enthusiastic but still very minimal. But I don’t want to give up. The latest report of the UN about the state of…
I have not been posting a lot for a while. COVID became a bit more acute in all of our lives, and I have been doing a course about climate change and what we can do on an individual, communal and political level. It was very interesting. I really like my website, but I am not sure if it (yet) achieves what I would like, which is inspiring people to make better choices for the environment by providing the resources…
For a long time I have been hoping to find alternatives for the plastic bags I continue to use. I no longer use the plastic bags in the grocery store, both for fruit and veggies as well as the bigger grocery bags. These were very easy adjustments that did not cost any effort at all. For garbage and doggy poop, I still am using plastic 🙁 Recently I saw true compostable bags from Trader Joe’s which made me very happy….
I stumbled upon this website at another discussion about the environment, better choices and taking responsibility. I really like this. The idea of throwing away food always punches me in the gut ( pun intended) This company tackles many problems at one time, reducing waste, reducing carbon foot print, decreasing cost for costumers, increasing income of organic farmers, increasing consumption of healthy organic products. What’s to loose? perfection is so overrated….. https://www.misfitsmarket.com

Here are some great initiatives that could have a major positive impact

I was pondering what to post today…. and I am now a regular user of Ecosia, the search engine that uses its profits to plant trees. I am still unable to make it my home page (don’t ask, I do everything they tell me to do) but I remember now to type it in first and then use it. (full disclosure, it did not find my website, but it has so far found everything else..) I stumbled upon their history…
