June 20 at 10:09 AMHey everyone... I'm sorry I've been away the last couple weeks. I've been co-facilitating a camp and working zero waste at events in the community. I feel like I am living sustainability & kicking a**! That being said I realize I have not been keeping some commitments and promises I have made to the group. One being sending information...

June 13 at 2:13 PMHello! I'm sorry I haven't been active in the class the past two weeks. On the 31st my wife and I significantly increased our family's ecological footprint by welcoming our second child to the world. Things have been a little silly since then. I'm especially disappointed to have missed today's discussion, since sustainable...

June 13 at 9:48 AMI find it ironic that our topic for today was transportation, and I have flown thousands of miles and driven hundreds of miles to land myself in Moscow, ID this week. My sister lives in town, just a few blocks from Main Street and a few more blocks from the city's parks and amazing neighborhoods. Even though I live 'in town' at home, just 1.2...

June 6 at 10:03 AMI am out of town for the next 10 days, so can't actually build my home community this week. That said, I am inspired by this group and am encouraged to take more regular action once I get back home. Although it is hard to feel personal when communicating with voices online, I love how I am starting to recognize different people's voices,...

June 1 at 9:12 AMI recently participated in a Neighbor Circle led by Neighborhood Connections. Here's an example, http://www.lawrencecommunityworks.org/node/64. Last week participants from the Neighbor Circle met at a local business in the neighborhood to continue building relationships while supporting a locally owned ice cream shop. It provided us time to...

June 1 at 7:47 AMThere's a book that I always reference, Staying Healthy with the Seasons, https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/198370/staying-healthy-with-the-seasons-by-elson-m-haas/9781587611421/ "Nature’s cycles affect not only the external climate, but also our internal health and mental well-being. With this as its primary tenet, STAYING...

May 30 at 4:52 PMThank you everyone for your thoughts today. I appreciate being part of a group of people all trying to figure out this crazy puzzle - - balancing water, energy and our habits. I watched the Story of Water - - While it was nothing new in terms of content, I appreciated the directness of its message: We are being manipulated to think we need and...

May 30 at 8:59 AMFor today's class on Water, I followed the given link and found that I am located in the convergence of the Upper Colorado and Arkansas-White-Red watersheds, but for the activity, I would say I mostly affect the Upper Colorado region. The site was difficult to navigate and didn't load properly, so I wasn't able to find the most prominent water...

May 30 at 8:44 AMGreetings everyone! I made it back safely from Costa Rica! I had a truly transformational experience and am ready to dive back into my sustainable lifestyle learning full force. I apologize again for missing last week's discussion, but food is my passion, so I am already doing a lot of work with my coalition group to help localize our food...
