    Lack of personal connection to others can really affect overall health especially mental health. In fact, engaging in personal connections with others helps to prevent dementia, lower anxiety and depression, and improve immune function.

    We have replaced all the light bulbs with energy star lights. We wash all our clothes in cold water. We don't have an air conditioner, so we don't run too much energy in the summer. I can commit to using more public transportation and turning down the thermostat 1 degree in the winter.

    In celebration of Earth Day tomorrow a few of us planted some bonsai seeds. Hopefully they survive!

    I know Earth Day is officially tomorrow, but I want to thank our Department of Sustainability (Brittany, Abby, and Rachel). Thank you for your hard work and dedication in leading the goal for a more sustainable county government!
