Mass Audubon Climate Action

Working to make sure both my chocolate and coffee are coming from appropriate sources, as well as encouraging family members to do the same. Another item here is when I do occasionally consume beef, make sure it's local since there are a lot of beef producers in Central and S America that have decimated rainforests. Still figuring out how I can...

We are usually very conservative with our food. We eat leftovers and have instilled that value in our children. But this week we ended up throwing away food, and I felt terrible. it was take-out food. The food did not taste that great, it was highly caloric, one of the items turned bad quickly and made my husband ill, and we realized that the...

I feel so much better having smaller portions and it is good for keeping in shape too

I'm incredibly proud to be a part of this amazing community, and it's been a great month watching our collective climate action grow in impact.

I love the Drawdown EcoChallenge because it gives me the opportunity to take individual actions to address climate change but feel like I am also part of a larger community working together. It also is a great platform to help people educate themselves about the intersection between climate change and so many other topics (such as educating...

When we think about how much our wasteful culture (food, clothing, inefficient energy use, etc) causes financial waste, it makes us reexamine the notion that sustainable choices are more expensive or not practical for the average consumer. 

Forlorn apple skins  sat ready for the compost--left from an apple sauce pressing --I grabbed them for a second pressing--just removing the seeds and the core. I then added  some old  sauterne to add zest. Pretty OK----not great so eating slowly but will not throw out under any circumstances. 

I think that norms should be reviewed at the start of each meeting ----it becomes even moire important to value all voices. One meeting I attended was dominated by 3-4 people --some folks are reticent about virtual sharing. One tip is to move closer to the screen both for audio and asserting presence.

Found a new brand to use - Boody! Underwear is one of the few things to buy new at this point, so might as well make it ecologically manageable!
