Who knew? I remember when the globe joined together to ban CFCs to save the Ozone layer - I hope we, as a planet, can band together with same joint goal to solve for the climate crisis!
I signed up to report refrigerant codes at local grocery stores - I have 5 stores within a mile of me! Most interested in how Central Market and Whole Foods rate in Dallas. Kudos to Aldi and WF for topping the overall list in reducing HFCs - but still a lot more work to do!!

Better health is definitely achieved through eating smaller portions and limiting waste. There are times when I find that I haven't finished my food and find that I am full. I tell myself to put the food away or set it aside and eat the rest when I am hungry. When attending social events where there is a lot of different foods, I take a little bit of most everything that I think I will like, eat and figure out what I like best, and return to get a bit more of some of what I liked the most.

This journey of awareness is always enlightening. My research of seaweed's purpose in the ocean and being a supporter of woman owned businesses from social media. Has heighten my view of Being in this challenge. I'm so glad to be a part of the sustainable solution. Now I know how, when and where I can contribute.

I bought my buckets to start my worm compost bins. I am debating on ordering more worms or digging some of the worms that I bought this spring from my garden.

This is a difficult question. I think most societies have ideas that seem great in the beginning but turn out possibly hurting the environment more. When researching solar panels, it came to my attention that there is a sever issue with the disposal of the old nonworking Solar Panels. They are now creating more waste to be placed in dumps. I am beginning to see more and more solar farms and I am now more than ever concerned about the waste it is creating. This is the same with the batteries from electric cars. We may be creating a larger problem. I am appreciative of this challenge. It opened my eyes.

The farm raised shrimp I used in our Shrimp and Grits dinner was delish. I would share the recipe, but I didn't have one. I tend to cook making recipes as I go.
