FCGG Team 2024

We hosted the JustEarth.org team to facilitate our SAC team of 24 divided into interest groups to try to get our global temperature down. It was such an interesting discussion and exercise. 2 hours prep and 3 hours on this evening 6:30-9:30. The event was from 7-9

I mailed my postcards today, asking people to vote on Nov. 5th. Yay It felt good to DO something besides vote myself.

I met the little girl scouts at the community garden. They planted the garlic for next year and loved the activity. They harvested tomatoes and green peppers to share with our neighbors in need.

we voted today. Delivered our ballots to Batavia.

We had an hour and a half meeting with our Garden Advisory Board and decided to add more variety to our community garden next spring. We will add various beans and asparagus and more greens (collard, chard and bokchoy.

I am organizing a climat simulation to be held on the 22nd of October. The facilitator is from JustEarth.org and will walk us through the complexities of the issues affecting climate change. We are in communication.

A friend came over to explore the prairie and collect seeds. I listened carefully to what she was interested in doing and hopefully guided her process.

Today we hosted a 3rd grade field trip from St. Columban, They discovered native plants, collected seeds and observed pollinators. They went on a hike in the woods too. Yes three hours but in three groups. The engagement of the children was heartwarming.

I read on someone’s feed how they advocate for eating less meat and raising livestock with care, and sustainably. I realized some years ago how much I can reduce my carbon footprint by giving up meat completely, and I did. I have been very happy with that choice and have never regretted it.

“Every day is a fresh start, wake up with a thankful heart“ Very inspiring and I try to practice it:)
