You win some; you lose some:) On Monday, I thought to grate the rind of a lemon when I only needed the juice, but there was no refrigerator or freezer with which to save it. I was visiting someone else's home and couldn't think of a way to use the rind. In contrast, I got to raid their compost bin in the kitchen and use green onions from an onion that had sprouted!

As Advocacy chair at Brookhaven, I just composed a letter the Climate Change Committee will send to our State Representative.

Plant-based sausages at the meat section of Star Market are mighty tasty -- try some!

Signed up for an energy efficiency audit of my home.

I have belonged to Kiva for many years. Kiva is the world's first online lending platform. For as little as $25 you can lend to an entrepreneur around the world, primarily in 3rd world economies or challenged urban areas. I have had my microloans reliably paid back and then I can re-loan the money again. I focus on Latin America. Loans are often given to small farmers and women owned businesses.
