Tiny Tote participated in the first annual “Creation Care Day” event at Celebration United Methodist Church. Cara Fleischer
introduced the group to the wonders of urban gardening, and intrigued us all with sharing stories of building community around an annual 10,000 ladybug release and decorating her church's garden with beautiful mosaics.

Other speakers included experts on solar energy and native pollinator gardening.

I (Wendy) was happy to present my rendition of “Zero Waste 101,” educating the group about the Zero Waste International Alliance's definition of , and providing information about a plethora of local resources including the City of Gainesville Zero Waste Initiative , Sandy's Savvy Chic Resale Boutique , Life Unplastic , Beaten Path Garden , Two Farms One Dream and Alachua County Recycles among others.

Thank you so much to “Eco Gal” Sara Nussel Adventures of Eco-Gal) for the platform to speak and the delicious vegan lunch including cookies baked with 100% solar power!

Purchased these books secondhand because, ya know, ✨ eco friendly ✨ but I think it’s safe to say we missed the mark on the shipping 🤦🏻‍♀️

Alternate caption: I made AI read books about plastic pollution and this is the result 😂😂😂

It's always so sad and enraging seeing this sort of thing. Everyone should be able to take a few extra seconds to cut/rip their six-pack rings... OR avoid buying them in the first place.

This is OBSCENE.

To put this into perspective: that's 3,153,600,000 bottles a year.⁠
⁠
Extracting directly from the spring focuses all the damage on that one spring system. The permitted amount of nearly 1 million gallons a day causes three times the loss of flow at the spring as public supply. ⁠
⁠
Our water doesn't belong in bottles.⁠
