Today I balanced my 4 fruits and vegetables with a PB&J sandwich and Halloween Treats! Happy Halloween! Best wishes to all you Eco Challengers out there!

This has been a great experience for me - the learnings, the trophies sparkling when I do my challenges! Ditto to Mary Hanks earlier post - it has been the feed and sharing of what this month has brought us. Really fun to check out and see what we've learned and done. Congratulations everyone! Happy Halloween!

Books picked up at GreenDrinks event earlier this month from Hannah, librarian who brings books to our events and is such a pleasure! Looking forward to carrying on the learnings!

Compost has many uses -not just...

Red meat is not good for your heart or overall health - actually a plant based diet would be best. It affects our planet in many ways - the animals give off methane gas - something worse than carbon - we need to plant more feed acres to...

I added this to my actions when I was researching types of concrete and found Pervious concrete - I had heard of it a while back but never looked into it. It creates a pavement that allows infiltration of rainwater rather than creating runoff. Because of the infiltration, ground water supplies are recharged and pollutants are treated. ...

I thought this would be a good time to share other activities i support for the environment. I belong to GWADA - Greater Wenatchee Arbor Day Associaation. We have a tree sale - typically on Earth Day as celebrated at Pybus - and sell trees and shrubs to communities in Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Entiat and Cashmere. It is always well recieved....
