Happy #EarthDay2026! Even though this video is from 2024, it highlights the editing talents of Jana Pennell and a composting program that is still going strong at Garfield CLC thanks to Rubber City Reuse www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcl7...

Have you pulled your garlic mustard today? Help protect your local ecosystem by removing it, but do it now before it starts to create seeds. Exotic, invasive species like garlic mustard are the 2nd greatest threat to endangered species. Habitat loss is the first. #CountdownToEarthDay

Here I am picking up litter on #WorldWaterDay and hoping you'll consider reading the book "White Pond Drive" which explains the importance of protecting wetlands and getting involved in local politics. It's the perfect read for #EarthDay!

You can't support #ICE if you follow #Christ. Shooting innocent people will never be right. If you're too brainwashed to take this advice, I'd recommend re-evaluating your life.

These #billionaires crying about taxes just like us poor people do.

Hey #booksky, if protecting wilderness and fixing our politcal system is your thing, check out "White Pond Drive." If it's good enough for the King of Middle Earth to thank me, chances are you'll like it too! #LOTR

#Thankful and thrilled to get a post card from #ViggoMortensen in appreciation for my book "White Pond Drive" and an amazing bar of soap from the Ash House Soap Refillery in Akron, Ohio!

My students and I are hoping you'll check out "Rammy's Recycled Tree" at the 44th Children's Hospital Holiday Tree Festival which starts today.

As we #fightforfrogs #freedom, might I suggest this enlightening book about how to improve our goverment and communities? www.amazon.com/White-Drive-...

My students and I have been working hard getting the Rooted Ram ready to open next week. Please come join us for our ribbon cutting ceremony and community showcase Thursday, October 23rd at 4:30-6:30. There will be a plant sale and a trunk-or-treat for kids.

Happy #Halloween! Here's a #scarystory: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Monday September 29th is #InternationalFoodWasteAwarenessDay. Food takes a lot of resources to produce, so if you can't eat it feed it to other people or farm animals, or compost it into nutritious soil that can grow more food. open.substack.com/pub/charisog...

Here's a piece I wrote about the amount of #trash in #America as a call for better #wastemangament. charisogrow.substack.com/p/waste-mana...

Excited to be one of the authors in the #BigOhioBookCon going on this weekend at the Medina Fair grounds.

It says a lot about #society when businesses are not willing to pay people to help others over the phone, but create numerous jobs for people to sell things to others over the phone.

Putting up the new greenhouse at the high school where I teach! Hoping to grow some good things for our community in the future.
