I’m pretty busy with a few projects but I still want to give my readers a daily dose of goodness for Plastic-Free July. It’s important to stay motivated, stay inspired. But ZooFit Safari is *THIS* close to being published. I decided to give myself a day and let a professional take the wheel for today….
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 20: The Earth is Our Home…Clean Up Your Room
As a kid in middle school (many moons ago), I heard a radio ad on my favorite station exclaiming “The earth is our home. CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM!” I loved this ad so much I made a poster of it as a school Earth Day project and kept it on my bedroom door. This confused…
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 19: Almond Cow
Whidbey Island is a fantastic and beautiful place to live. But one thing I wish I could change is the recycling accessibility. We don’t recycle near the amount of items that Seattle or other cities do. It’s the downside to small community living.
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 18: Walk with Your Best Friend
I don’t have a dog. Sometimes I imagine training my cats to let me put a leash on them and take them around. Sullivan might like it. The Kid? No. Just no.
Plastic-Free Eco-Challenge, Day 17- Green Your Hygiene, Part 3
Keeping your body clean, and your teeth clean are pretty obvious aspects of hygiene. But there is another aspect which rarely gets touched on because, well, it’s embarrassing for most people to discuss.
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 16: Green Your Hygiene, Part 2
In continuing with the hygiene segment of Plastic-Free July, I find it fitting that I went to the dentist for my 3 month check-up.
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 15: Green Your Hygiene, Part 1
Last year, I started a new phase of ZooFit, called Eco-Wellness. It’s been an amazing journey of self-discovery and even helped shape some of my new book, The ZooFit Safari.
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 14: Watch a Movie
In my Optimize coach class, we discuss cutting down on television to make time for things which are important to us. Important things like fitness, writing, art, family time (and no, TV is not family time). But even our mentor, Brian Johnson, watches movies, documentaries, and even TED talks once in a while (he’s really…
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 13: Reuse, Recycle, Reduce Your Waist
Hey, I’m not too proud to promote my own work, especially when it aligns so well with Plastic Free July. One of my first projects I created when developing ZooFit was a homemade medicine ball. Taking an old basketball, worn and torn and headed to the landfill, I filled it with sand and breathed new…
Plastic-Free July Eco-Challenge, Day 12: The Mentality of a Conservationist
A couple of months ago, I attended a talk by a photographer sponsored by the library for their Trudy Sunberg lecture series. I was excited to hear from this artist because he has traveled the world and filmed some incredible animals all over. But I was incredibly disappointed in the presentation and the message conveyed…
