    I completed my waste audit today!  In the last 3 weeks I had 7.8lbs of trash (does not include recycling of compost).  It was not as much as I expected initially, but if I did the math right that would mean I'm generating one TON of trash every 14.8 years - and that's just me, one person on a "good" week - potentially 5.5 TONS in a lifetime.  If you multiply it by the population of the US, that would be 70,980 TONS PER DAY, and I'm sure I'm on the low side.  Very eye opening.

    A sustainable society is one that ensures the health and vitality of life.  Our country has had a terrible history of obstructing this to ensure personal gain.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Healing and Renewal Engage In Active Listening
    What was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation(s) benefit from active listening?

    I very much enjoyed active listening.  It was refreshing to turn off my internal thoughts and focus on the what someone else is saying and keeping it on them with questions to dig deeper.  I feel like it was appreciated from the person I was speaking with, plus it helped me retain a lot more information too.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion
    How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

    Fast fashion has been a challenge for me in the past because I love a good price or sale.  I think starting to minimize what I own has made me a lot more thoughtful about anything new I have and made me realize that personal style is different than being trendy, so if you invest in items that match your personal style you can have less but get more out of it while still expressing yourself.

    Hopefully everyone had a chance to go outside and see the fall colors this weekend... it's beautiful until I need to rake :)

    The research i did looking into the impacts of the fashion industry will certainly help me rethink any upcoming purchases... I thought this video did a decent job of summarizing some of the points but doesn't go into the manufacturing conditions which is another area of concern. In case anyone else is interested: https://youtu.be/elU32XNj8PM

      I too watched this video and was surprised by the makeup of clothing. I had no idea that polyester was so unkind to the environment!

    I started listening to the podcast Armchair Expert to get away from screens and other than the advertising I really like it!  Learning a lot about people and things I never knew I wanted to know more about.
