Transitioning away from fossil fuels can benefit everyone. Specifically, in my area, we are prone to flooding, drought, and now, fire. Decreasing GHGs reduces global warming and the threat of severe weather events. A renewable, resilient grid is absolutely necessary in my community -- not just for environmental reasons, but for social resiliency. Electricity is central to how we leave, and if we don't have reliable energy, there will be an inequitable share of electricity.

Today, I wrote to the county planning committee to get an update on the solar project that was, earlier this year, rejected by the community. I expressed my support.

It was pretty easy and actually saves money. Do it!

That's extremely messed up. We must keep supporting each other and not big business.

Did you know that 75% of our food crops need pollination? That means, without pollinators, we would be very hungry! Not only us, but many other species. Pollinators are essential to biodiversity. I am making it my mission to decrease the use of pesticides and increase pollinator habitat where I can.

I regularly volunteer in my community at my local library and virtually through ESW HQ! I love volunteering in my spare time! Also, with my connection to the library I get to hear about all the fun adult crafts and was able to make a spooky ghost scene painting and a bat keychain!

I have been vegetarian since April 2021. Recently, I started eating chicken again which allowed for a healthier lifestyle. Even though I will sometimes eat meat, I enjoy my meatless meals I cook at home regularly! My favorite new recipe I tried was cheesy asparagus and orzo!! :)
