Clare Lazar 7/31/2019 3:37 PMThis has been so educational and fun. I've talked about my mindfulness on the Ecochallenge to friends and family, hoping to plant seeds in them to think how they can make changes to support continued life for all that live on the planet. We're here for a reason and that is not to be destructive. I believe all of life, whether in the air, in the sea or on the soil has value. We must respond to the needs of Mother Nature. She is counting on all of the humans to work together and help her to survive. Let's Win Together! -
Clare Lazar 7/18/2019 11:22 PMTonight I attended the democratic debate for the next mayoral candidate. They announced at the beginning of the program they would not be offering water in plastic bottles. Much to everyone's delight they told us there was a water fountain in the lobby. AWESOME! -
Clare Lazar 7/16/2019 10:13 PMI had to hold my tongue today when I noticed a customer at Circle K clean out their car of two 'refillable' cups, throw them both in the trash and then proceed to purchase a new drink in a new cup, UGG! I wish there were signs about the Ecochallenge on all convenience store doors. Well, every bit helps, each day. Here's to another opportunity to make a difference tomorrow, CHEERS! -
