Woodard & Curran: Team Earth

This last weekend, a friend was able to give me a hand building raised garden beds. Got 2/3s of them done, along with some plantings.

Moving forward, I will try to be more conscious of the amount of time I let the water run while washing dishes. It doesn't take long to waste water.

I have definitely tried to reduce the amount of times I purchase coffee when I'm running errands. I have tried to adapt the mindset that buying coffee should be a fun little treat or pick me up rather than an everday occurrence. Making coffee at home is cheaper, quicker, and more sustainable!

I've been trying to be more conscious about the waste I create and have invested in Stasher reusable sandwich and snack bags, as well as glass straws. I also bring my own water bottle wherever I go or grab a glass cup from the kitchen at work to stay hydrated.

I went on a lovely hike on April 22 (EARTH DAY)!

My foster dog and I have been enjoying getting out and about, especially now that Spring is starting to Spring! It's also been allowing me to discover strange new places where litter exists. Today, we found a Richard Simmons DVD in the woods. Tomorrow, we have a neighborhood clean-up, and I am making note of all of the hidden spots I've found...

Which ones have you tried, but wouldn't stick, and why? I'm switched all of my cleaning products and tools to either be plastic-free, reusable, or healthier for my...

Worked at a local farm this weekend in exchange for a share of fresh produce, from which we made a meat-free meal.
