    I listened to the OPB program called Think Out Loud, which was talking about recycling and the change in the plastic market due to China's Green Sword (not taking our junk plastics anymore).

    I walked the dog today and met a neighbor who was outside with his dog.  I wanted to ask him about his female ginko tree fruit. These yellow fruit drop in the fall and are notoriously stinky but I have no experience with them.  He was thrilled to know that I was going to do some research on how they could be eaten. Tune in . . .

    I am avoiding buying plastic but i find I have to be so vigilant to not get other unwanted plastic like straws and silverware that are so ubiquitous.

    I am meeting lots of new people at a conference but not a neighbor each day to meet my challenge.

    At the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education conference where all the food served is vegetarian, easy peasy for my 2 meatless meals a day.
