Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks Smart Seafood Choices

Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

Winnie Blackwell 4/26/2021 12:18 PM

Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?

Winnie Blackwell 4/05/2021 8:06 AM

I think women are just community-minded. We want to save as many people as we can and our families/communities are the easiest place to start. It might hold us back but that's a trade off many of us deem worthy. I know I certainly do.

What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?

Winnie Blackwell 4/05/2021 8:05 AM

Eco-friendly transportation readily available, hybrid buses, more charging ports for hybrid passenger vehicles, more recycling and composting sites. I think it's a community mindset shift that needs to happen first.
