I can’t be at rallies or protests for a number of reasons. I’ve had pneumonia this time of year and have an auto-immune disorder. If I get arrested, I can say good-bye to my teaching career. I have a child that needs me. But I still want to do what I can to advocate for and protect those I love. This is just one action I am am taking in response to these times:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I teach about the environment through art. I teach about the importance, the necessity, of biodiversity. Chil<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">dren thrill at the diversity of colors and shapes and textures in leaves, in seeds. I teach about pollination, not just about the introduced domesticated honey bees, but the solitary bees, the butterflies and moths, the beetles, flies, ants, birds, and even bats that pollinate. Without insect pollinators, humanity would be wiped out. We don’t get to decide which insects get to pollinate our tomatoes, which more often will be a bumblebee, nor should we. Using pesticides and enforcing monocultures is toxic. Words of hate and racism and suppression of other races and cultures is toxic.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Today I continue work bringing nature to children. I am mostly engaged online, but I prepare for the time we can be together again. I struggled with putting nature under a plastic shield, wanting kids to touch actual leaves and galls knowing some would be crushed. Now I seal some of my favorite pressed leaves under lamination so each child I teach can look at their diversity before collecting their own leaves around where we are. I will wipe all the sheets down with Lysol. I’m placing robin egg shells, cicada exoskeletons, dragonfly exuvia, and oak apple galls inside clear plastic cases to pass around and wipe between each student, as they learn how nature solves problems.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We need to change our nature as a society. Be the change you want to see.</div>

Here's a virtual trip of us looking under logs. I hope it inspires you to do the same! Please return all to their original state and leave no trash behind. Better yet, bring gloves and a bag to collect trash you find as you explore! <a href="https://15minutefieldtrips.blogspot.com/2016/05/looking-under-logs.html">https://15minutefieldtrips.blogspot.com/2016/05/looking-under-logs.html</a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Closing the Loop #429: The junk draw. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I repurposed a party pack container to organize my junk draw. Oh what treasures did I find! I've done so much organizing of late, I now have better places to store my candles and paper clips. I keep twistie ties and elastics to close up packages like my frozen veggies or to hang herbs to dry from a line. The silica packs keep my nature materials dry and safe from mold.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">While I encourage you to buy food without packaging, in this current time of personal safety I understand if you're getting more packaged foods lately. And while I don't want to encourage you to hoard the packaging, is there another life you could give it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">What about salad containers? <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">We started mesclun greens and pea shoots in mini greenhouses using salad containers. Add water before soil and keep moist. Uncover containers when you see sprouts, then mist as needed.</span></span><br />

I hope you are all well. I'm spending a lot of time on the computer teaching and preparing materials. I am grateful for my bird feeder just outside my window. Today, we had blue jays, cardinals, downy woodpeckers, brown-headed cow birds, and junco, titmice, and nuthatch. I hope the red-bellied woodpecker visits again! Nature is a gift.15minutefieldtripshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10038633784901137523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227666203484305664.post-50172006080587070582020-04-01T05:04:00.001-07:002020-04-01T06:32:18.725-07:00April Fools<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're like me right now, you've been spending a lot of time at home. In my state of Rhode Island, the governor has just closed the beaches and state parks because people were not keeping 6 feet away or being in groups of 5 or less. I've also seen people leaving masks and gloves in shopping carts or on the ground. What kind of fools are we?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a silver lining, though. We're in this together, and together we can start tackling the tough issues that face us by making systemic changes. One change that needs to happen is reducing food waste. In RI, food waste accounts for 32% of our landfill!!! (See the end notes for places in Rhode Island that compost.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a fun game for the kids: Blind Lemon Nightcrawler, the deep underground jazz musician, wants to open up a new restaurant, the Compost Cafe! Print out these pages and cut out the food scraps and plates from pages 2, 3, and 4. Kids can arrange the food for different "customers" and even make menus from brown shopping bags, drawing the food scraps and adding prices and labels. (It's a great way to sneak in spelling and math!)</div>

You can compost at home, under your sink, in your back yard. Follow the recipe and cut pieces small or put them through a blender. Mix in to compost and keep damp but not soggy. For indoors in a small container, make sure to drill air holes. I do this around the bottom to also add drainage and put the container in a larger one. You can make one from a recycling bin or large Tupperware container. You'll want red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) for small composting. Earthworms and nightcrawlers are fine for outside.<br />
<br />
If you want to buy worms or a compost bin, I like these vendors:<br />

This activity is part of our "Dirt Pop Up Museum", where we set up several art and science stations for kids to learn more about worms! Check out our program link on the right or <a href="http://15minutefieldtrips.blogspot.com/p/programs-and-workshops.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Learn more on your own with the links on the left under "Dirt and Detrivores", then "<a href="http://15minutefieldtrips.blogspot.com/p/worms-and-compost.html" target="_blank">Worms and Compost</a>".<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we all adjust to these rapid transitions, I wanted to let you know that you are not alone and there are even silver linings. With the halt in industry and travel, CO2 emissions are <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/coronavirus-shutdowns-have-unintended-climate-benefits-n1161921" target="_blank">down</a>. Dolphins frolic in Italy. People are enjoying nature more. We've been forced to slow down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, maybe after we learn how to navigate several new platforms, make dinner, and find new ways to live... Take a deep breath. Go outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the next days and weeks, I'll be posting very easy and quick ways to live sustainably with little or no money. Some of this will be through repurposing materials, some will be gardening timelines and tips, some will be "mini vacations" around your neighborhood. It's how I live.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So much of the American lifestyle generates waste at a systemic and institutional level. The skills I will post here will help you live in a "closed loop", where nothing is wasted. I hope you enjoy them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please leave a comment on what you'd like to learn, what you need. Sign up for the email list so you know when I post. There are many free resources at both sides of this page. Use them. Share them. Learn a new recipe, an edible plant. Look to nature and how the earth solves problems and survives.</div>
