    This past winter, we placed covers over our wall AC units. There was a noticeable cost savings to our heating bill - and the spaces were definitely cozier!

    I'm still thinking about the documentaries I watched on Earth Day. Watching Kiss the Ground and Common Ground documentaries really get me fired up about what I can do to make a positive impact and how my actions can help or hurt the soil.

    I am grateful to our vet this morning for making time to see my dog for an emergency visit. He's been having a hard time lately and they've been incredibly supportive through it all - it really makes a difference and reminds me how much a great care team matters! ❤️

    Yesterday was such a beautiful day for Earth Day. After dinner I enjoyed watching the documentary "Common Ground" on Amazon Prime. It talks all about regenerative agriculture and how various large companies (like Round Up) have negatively influenced the agriculture industry. 10/10 recommend!

    Was it easy or difficult to sign up for renewable energy in your area? Did you learn anything that surprised you while making this transition?

    We were able to sign up for a more sustainable air conditioning program during the summer with our energy provider. Not only is it saving energy, but it's saving us some money too! I love these kinds of incentives.

    While one's plastic cutlery is a seemingly very small part of someone's "plastic impact", why do you think it's important for us to address this opportunity to reduce?

    It is the small, consistent and intentional actions that can make a difference over time. We all have a responsibility in this.

    HAPPY EARTH DAY Y'ALL!! I'm so excited for our second annual Earth Day Fair in the Legacy Atrium today. I think it's such an appropriate place to hold an Earth Day event - what legacy are we hoping to leave for our neighbors, our families, friends, and generations to come?

    Have you considered doing a review of your work practices to see if there are opportunities to go digital with a process that has historically been paper-based at your organization?

    I have made an intentional effort to ask myself if I really need to print something or not. This has caused me to really think about the way I work and the need to print documents.

      I always make sure that when I do have to print, I print double sided if applicable.
