Hometown: Earth

You know it by many names: earth, peat, land, clay, silt, mud, sand - SOIL. Soil is a material that unites us, as it is under all of our feet—the source of life on earth.

In our 12 month journey to adopt new sustainable habits, the first month focuses on valuing the earth’s soil. This week, we will learn why soil health is so essential to the health of our planet - including you!

We take in information every time we get on social media, watch tv, read a book, listen to a podcast, talk to a friend - the list goes on. With this influx of information and influence everywhere, we need to think critically if we want to adapt to world changes successfully as a society.

In this episode, I explain more about critical thinking, why it’s important, how it relates to sustainability and the steps you can take to start thinking more critically today for a brighter future!

Did you know that small businesses make up about 44 percent of economic activity in the United States? Large corporations are the ones who are in the spotlight when it comes to having an opinion on political issues, diversity, where their money goes, their impact on the environment and people, and more. And while it is true that a handful of large corporations are the heaviest hitters to our environment, why can’t we be asking those same questions of our local small businesses?

This episode discusses why you should rethink #shopsmallbusiness and take it further by choosing local, small businesses that align with your values.

I have a question -what comes to mind when I say "Out With The Old, In With The New"? Did you automatically think about material objects that you want to replace? You're not alone!

In our second week of practicing better waste management, we talk about how America became a throwaway society, the waste management hierarchy, and how 'out with the old, in with the new' can be used for good!
