JKL Green Stampede 19-20

So glad that parkside and the duc have compost bins now too :)

Being grateful for the present creates hope for the future- and the strength to work towards a better one.

Growing your own herbs is a great way to cut down on the energy and resources used in large-scale agriculture as well as a wonderful opportunity to begin learning about and practicing sustainable food production. JKL Residents: Stay tuned for a gardening workshop hopefully happening soon!

I have to take out the trash a lot less often than I did when we didn't have a compost bin.

Curing foods in salt is a great way to introduce new flavor profiles into common foods as well as eliminate food waste. The process is essentially waste free as curing salts can be dehydrated, stored, and used again!

I use K cups. I could stop doing that if I got one of the reusable things that lets you put coffee grounds into the K cup thing.

Missouri gets most of its water from rivers, lakes, and aquifers.

It's hard to keep up with all the challenges for a long time. It was easy at the beginning but it's getting harder now.

It would probably help if plant-based meals were less expensive.

The majority of electricity in Missouri is generated from coal, and coal mining is very terrible for the both the workers and the environment.
