    Check local listings! But I started with town and county council members and worked my way up to the state level. Remember these are REPRESENTATIVES not "leaders"; they represent us!!

    Looking at next week for a day to work from home to save nearly 2 hours of my day... and reduce my carbon output for the day.

    So... when I declutter it often means moving something from one room to the next. Not this time! Straight to the trunk and then to Habitat for Humanity or another charitable organization.

    Avoiding refined sugar is hard. We have sugary snacks everywhere.

    Food Whole Foods Diet
    Michael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?

    Again... HomeChef brings farm fresh food right to my door in just the right amounts so that we minimize waste.

    All of our ingredients are from HomeChef, which uses just the right amount of fresh fruit and vegetables... sourced from local area farms. No waste. And worth it.

    I power of all of my computers and printers every night. It's a habit I've been trying to get into recently. My electric bill sees a difference... and it is harder to hack a computer that doesn't wake via network activity.
