Lorena Mucke 8/10/2023 10:32 AMNeeded to spread mulch again this year, but first, in order not to use weed killers, I spent time weeding out the area and laying down cardboard. Mulch this weekend!

Lorena Mucke 8/05/2023 5:52 AMWhat a pleasure it was today to stir our compost bin and see the dark, rich soil full of bugs. This is the way natured intended it!-

Lorena Mucke 8/03/2023 5:18 AMTurning the temps in our thermostat to 78 in the summer seems to be the sweet spot to manage to be comfortable and also reduce GHG emissions and pollution related to electricity use. When my kids say that it's too warm in the house, I send them out for about 10 mins outside in 90s temps. It's all in the perspective. ;)-
Debbie Cravey 8/03/2023 5:34 PMFrom 3,000 miles away I second your temperature conclusion! First of all, I am grateful every day to have air conditioning available. Many houses in Portland don't have it, and we saved up to have it installed in our house about 10 years ago. (Those increasing heat domes are brutal! I worry about the people and animals without AC or other means of cooling off.) We have the Nest thermostat programmed for 79, but I often find myself turning that dial down just one more click. Seeing your comment makes me feel less guilty about that. :)

Lorena Mucke 7/31/2023 5:12 AMAs Vivian and I continue to develop our ARDI presentation for Hispanic Heritage Month in September, I cannot but recognize how far ECP has come in regard to learning/addressing cultural biases within our organization. Also, I recognize that there's still a long way to go as we help build an egalitarian society. -
Lorena Mucke 7/27/2023 5:05 AMCheck out this website: https://www.regenerativefarmersofamerica.com/regenerative-farm-near-me It has lots of valuable information and you may have a regenerative farm near you.-
Amber Snyder 7/27/2023 2:39 PMWhat a great website, thanks for sharing this Lorena! -
Debbie Cravey 7/27/2023 5:52 AMThis site is really great. I found a 27-year-old produce-only CSA right up the road from me that I didn't know existed! The directory also has a listing of regenerative farms that ship nationwide for anyone without local access.

Lorena Mucke 7/19/2023 12:01 PMOver the weekend, I cleaned up our medicine cabinet. Today, I dropped off expired and leftover medication at a Walgreens that accepts them in order to avoid flushing them down the toilet, which is a great source of water contamination.-
Maddison Chaffin 7/20/2023 1:58 PMI didn't know I could do that!! -

Lorena Mucke 7/18/2023 8:57 AMNature bathing should be part of regular activities, right next to showering. ;)
