First and most obviously way I've removed destructive forest products is to buy local. I am intental about shopping at my own local grocery store that has a focus on localized, organic and clean-ingredient products. This not only ensures my grocery purchases aren't negatively affecting the rainforests, but also puts money back into my community. 

On Sunday I walked in a conservation land I'd never visited before, just 18 minutes from my house. The trail was beautiful and filled with glacial rock formations you could climb up. A sign told us on the way back that this area had been one of the 1st settlements around here and was founded by a few family's from Chelmsford. The settlement became known as The City and later the Lost City as the inhabitants moved away after the 1800s and all that remains are a few cellar holes now filled in and forested over. There is always something interesting and connecting in learning about those who lived in the same areas you did in the past. I wonder what the landscape looked like then. The sign said they came to the area because it produced good hay, which was in high demand at the time. I am used to seeing my home town covered in forests, with fields dotted here and there, but once the forests where the things dotted in a sea of fields. You still come upon the old stone walls which separated one field from another walking through the forests in thus region today. I'm glad the trees have been allowed to take over again and with them bring their biodiversity and heat capture. 

Its noon and I'm going to go have lunch not at my computer! It makes the time I spend at work more productive and more positive. It makes coming back to work and dedicating myself every day easier and a generally better experience. My kids ensure I step away outside of their daycare hours or I can see how it would be easy to just get one more thing done...forever.

I'm ignoring this question, because I don't like it. But what I do want to reflect on is the affordability of "sustainable fashion." It's soooo hard for me to spend money on things that are probably (maybe) more sustainable. Like my kids' clothes that they're going to grow out of in five seconds. It's so expensive! 
I've been trying to identify key items for myself that would be used longer term, but it's still expensive. I'm a - Kohls clearance/sale item with a coupon and kohls cash shopper in my ideal life. Comparatively, it makes spending money on real items feel very difficult, even if they're better resourced in so many ways - how they're made, who's making them, where they're made, how the materials are resourced, etc. 

I think that equality for trans, femme, and non binary folks is important to a just and sustainable society because it builds humility, compassion, understanding and acceptance towards all of humanity. To have a sustainable society, it requires human beings moving and living through the world in a peaceful way. Every person is an important part of our Earth and our environment. Excluding essential and very real parts of our society, would be like saying "oh we have to keep the oceans clean, but the rivers, lakes, ponds and streams aren't the majority and aren't necessary to keep clean". Every human being deserves a just society and equality within that society, just as much as human beings need air to breath.

I don't know!! Ha. Please tell me.
Conscious spending. Not taking items just because they're free. haha.
I'm working on rolling out the things my kids are outgrowing, which is what makes this task both easy and a good choice for me. But I have years of "unburying" of stuff to accomplish as I work towards better streamlining our home.

This has been the weirdest thing since moving here, but apparently yes and apparently it's "normal." In the older parts of Kansas City, the infrastructure results in sewage flooding back into homes when we experience heavy rain and flooding - which we do, every single spring. I had one former coworker released from her lease and move out after her rental home's basement flooded with sewage water for the second time. Good times. Good times. Totally crazy.
Obviously, the city has projects in place to reduce the rate of  occurrence and replace aging infrastructure.  https://www.kcsmartsewer.us/projects/neighborhood-sewer-rehabilitation
