    The Ecochallenge is a daily reminder and gentle nudge to not just do our normal good work for the earth but a little or a lot more...our kids and grandkids deserve all of our best efforts. Think about those seven generations and beyond!

    My grandfather used to milk his own cows, bottle the milk, and deliver it to members of his community in SW Wisconsin (80+ years ago). It is in my blood to support local sustainable food systems!
