What have you done today to lower your impact?

We are washing away the foundations of our existence on every front. It is high time we move from crashing about on the planet like a bull in china shop and find a way to go forward with intent. We must find systems of living based on sustainability. The systems and tools exist, it is up to each of us to adopt them.

350 challenge garden work party at UUCCV

watering in the nicotiana, beans and corn
The day went well, from donated materials to sweat equity the output was impressive, even from the 11 year old. Here's a few shots from our church garden work party.

Very neat. I had heard talk of these but never seen one.

We only managed to fill what you see there and will gradually finish it off. It will need to stay flat for several weeks to allow the roots to stabilize the soil before we stand it up.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the suggestion but we have no shortage of turf, we need less not more as we don't eat lawn grass.
