One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not amazing, just unusual... I co-owned and worked on a commercial salmon fishing boat , and am a retired academic librarian.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are learning regenerative gardening, and we grow our own food. We use solar power and are exploring other more eco-friendly energy sources. We are learning how to become sustainable without damaging the environment. We want to learn more from others with similar interests, and we want to share what we are learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Our local environmental experiences, our personal climate actions and our knowledge of how the world has changed over the past 60 years. Our sense of wonder and joy in the natural world. And generally a lot of fun...
