      Yeah, if you go to edit my actions, click on the waste section, there is a button that says learn more with a page of resources. The first link is to Metro's website.

    20 minute walk sure feels a lot more difficult to do with all this fog and rain.....

    My 20 minute walk for today: bus got in a minor accident and I had to walk the rest of the way to work. Not what I expected, but so be it!

    Helping others and helping the earth- check out Dirty Girls of Lesvos, a non-profit in Greece helping refugees. Dirty Girls of Lesvos began as an organization that retrieved clothing discarded on shore by recently arrived refugees, cleaning the clothes to like new standards, and then redistributing the clothing to refugees. In light of policy changes, the organization has begun focusing on washing blankets and sleeping bags and redistributing them.
    The group has also begun making messenger bags from life vests discarded by incoming refugees and gifting them to anyone who donates $100 or more.


    To find out more about this awesome organization, please see their website here: http://dirtygirlsoflesvos.com/
