🐔♻️ Mobi showed up to support a recycling workshop today. A retired teacher with 200 chickens showed up to RUN it.
This afternoon, I had the honor of partnering with Harris County Precinct 2 Precinct2gether to bring sustainability and recycling education to the local AARP Chapter — 120 people deep, and every single one of them fully present.
The facilitator? A retired teacher.
The secret weapon she used to hook the entire room?
200 chickens. 🐓
Before she even got to waste diversion, composting, or recycling best practices — she had 120 retired adults completely locked in, swapping chicken stories and talking about how nothing went to waste on a real homestead.
And THEN she taught the class. Brilliantly.
Turns out when your teacher has 200 live witnesses to her zero-waste lifestyle at home, nobody’s checking their phone. Nobody’s half-listening. They’re asking follow-up questions.
This is what community sustainability education looks like when it’s done RIGHT — led by someone the community already trusts, grounded in real life, and just funny enough to keep 120 people in their seats on a Thursday afternoon.
Grateful to Harris County Precinct 2 for creating spaces like this. Grateful to be in the room. Grateful for the chickens. 🌱
