Seeking Answers: Research & Education Green Team Group

Even in the face of a global pandemic, we need to maintain our efforts to treat planet Earth with respect. In fact, I believe the fact that we're in the midst of a global pandemic reinforces that responsibility; the consequences of the pandemic highlight the extent to which members of our species rely on one another for so very many things.

Our relationship with nature has never been more tenuous. Some might suggest a pandemic is a stark reminder of how quickly our environment can turn dangerous.

The circumstances in which we find ourselves today are challenging. Environmental news and information are understandably overshadowed by more immediate, urgent news about the pandemic and how to protect ourselves and our fellow human beings. Yet, still, we need all sorts of information on a daily basis to help enable us to continue being responsible stewards of our environment.  Information like:

• How to properly dispose of used products
• Where to recycle
• What to recycle
• Which products to control weeds are environmentally friendly
• Recipes for homemade weed control products
• Sources for post-consumer plastics
• etc., etc., etc.
