Kimberly Brown 10/25/2017 6:53 PMThis has been a good challenge for me. I think I will continue to challenge myself to do less driving and be more conscious of the waste that I am producing.-
April Ann Fong 10/26/2017 11:38 AMThat sounds positive! :D

Kimberly Brown 10/20/2017 3:48 PMDrove to our field trip today, but habitat restoration team saved 7 trees! So I'd say that was a successful day.-

Kimberly Brown 10/19/2017 9:25 PMGot drenched on my bike ride back from school, but it was still better than driving! Day two of no plastic was also a success. I wonder if there is a way to hand out halloween candy that isn't individually wrapped in plastic... or should I just be a halloween grinch with no candy?-
April Ann Fong 10/21/2017 1:36 PMAt least it was warm-ish! The pineapple express is warmer than most rains! Yay on reducing plastic--it is so hard! I'm lucky that no children visit me!

Kimberly Brown 10/18/2017 2:22 PMI watched Bag It today. I won't likely be forgetting my reusable mug now! Going forward I will be trying to use no single use plastics. I know this especially difficult with things like pasta that you can't get in bulk bins, but I have stopped buying bread in plastic and started making my own! I am going to have to stop buying those energy bars and granola bars and seek out different snacks. I don't think there is any way of getting around plastic caps on things like sauces, but I will be looking into it.-
April Ann Fong 10/19/2017 5:43 PMWasn't Bag It good! Yikes about plastics is right. I think we need to move away from plastic! Good job working on this! I started making my own Lara bar like things with dates, oats, and such. Sometimes they are awesome!

Kimberly Brown 10/17/2017 2:58 PMWalked 40 minutes through my neighborhood to catch the shuttle bus to school and made sure to have my reusable mug this time. I have also been trying to get my room mates more involved and knowledgeable about our garden. I have several years of experience working in agriculture and I forget that certain things are not common knowledge, like how to harvest different vegetables. It has been a good room mate bonding activity!-
April Ann Fong 10/17/2017 6:30 PMWell, you're getting your steps in! And a reusable mug--yay! Yes, I've had lots of students not know how to harvest lettuce and green leaves on kale...it's good to teach people how to grow and eat well! :D Nice work, Kim!

Kimberly Brown 10/15/2017 6:22 PMI had to drive today for a class lab on Mount Hood, but I made sure to pack in as many people as I could! I failed again on not bringing a reusable coffee container. Though, I did take only a 5 minute shower and got to see areas of Mount Hood I had never seen before.-
April Ann Fong 10/17/2017 6:28 PMCarpooling is good! Yay! 5 minute showers are good, too! Are you in Sue's class?

Kimberly Brown 10/12/2017 8:59 PMWOW! If you have not had the chance to walk the trails behind the school I highly suggest you do! It is beautiful back there. Though some serious ivy action needs to be done, so I am wondering if that is something we can work on in the habitat restoration team.-
April Ann Fong 10/13/2017 4:00 PMYes!

Kimberly Brown 10/11/2017 10:00 AMToday I added to my herb garden with some winter vegetables. I have a small plot next to my house where I have began planting kale and carrots. Next up will be arugula, chard, and nasturium!-
April Ann Fong 10/12/2017 10:54 AMYay! Plants rule!
