Our future will be determined by the choices we make every day

Climate Change affects all of us. Food prices will be affected by the affects of climate change at home and in countries we import from. We need to act now to reduce our carbon emissions and help our health!

Try the 30x30 Challenge. Check out What's in it for you to get your daily dose of nature. Need some daily tips?
People are made to be loved. Nature is made to be loved. Things are made to be useful and used.
But things are being loved. Nature is being abused. People are being used. That is why we're in such chaos.

How often have we heard, "we are what we eat"? An apple a day, keeps the doctor away? What about we are what we choose to do? Your daily dose of nature?

Maybe if more people took the time to listen to and watch the Canadian geese learn how to fly in formation against a sunlit morning sky or whistled to the birds building their homes and families in our neighborhoods, the humanitarian would surface and habits would change. But we're all different and we have to choose what we can do.

With all the talk about Climate Change and our disappointment with Canada's performance, CBC last night said that increased precipitation is human-caused warming - the duration of the precipitation is historic.

It's time for us to change our habits. If we all do a little, together, we can make a difference.

What are you doing? What are you going to do? Do share with us. Let's learn from each other!

Even though it's still nippy out there, I'm on my bicycle for shorter trips.
And for the young people in our lives, to give them a head start in healthy habits, we've joined Le Grand défi Pierre Lavoie: https://www.legdpl.com/en/ as well as enrolled them in sports activities and camps - a great way to be with other young people too.
This last winter, we put more clothes and blankets on to use less fuel on heating. It was hard at first but we think we've used one tank of oil less than last year.
We bought a new and sturdier clothes dryer rack which we kept in the warmest place in the house to dry our clothes.
