If we can get equitable access to healthy food, we can reduce the need for lots of cheap, processed food that is produced using harmful agricultural practices and results in health issues that also have harmful environmental impacts.

The health of children linked all these SDGs, since they are a vulnerable population with little agency and the most at stake in our future.

The importance of freshwater resources appeared in each SDG. 

We use a push mower, remove invasive species, leave the leaves in some areas in the fall, and avoid using pesticides and fertilizers. I haven't noticed many changes. I still need to get some mulch but that did not get checked off the list this month!

Yikes, lots of coal in the Midwest! I believe our local power is from wind energy, but we recently had some changes and I have been unable to verify. 

I learned that one in three bites of food that humans eat each day is the result of pollinators’ interactions with plants! My favorite is the bumblebee. Did you know they sometimes fall asleep on flowers? It's so cute!

This is another great resource to get folks on the path to focus more on energy/electricity conservation, increasing efficiencies at home and for transit, and to explore going solar.  Definitely a helpful tool!

Good to see the level of participation.   Really enjoyed the food alternatives lecture.

I saw this on Google this morning

Getting close to make it to net zero, but not here yet.
