I've been trying to figure a response, but I want to say the Maggie Smith poem really resonates with me. I feel I was on the opposite end of that "decent realtor" in highschool. I was so angry because I felt like people were just trying to force this hopeful idea on my generation and that we were going to solve all the problems created. It felt so fake and covered up. When I realized how perilous everything was that made me so mad. I had a teacher who advised the GSA club and she was a pretty radical feminist. She taught us that our anger could be used for change. That we could make a difference. She took us to women's marches and LGBTQIA rallies and I realized all of the amazing things people are capable of. It made me realize that change is possible no matter how small. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you guys do. I'm really happy to have found this community.

Happy Earth day. What better way to spend it than being outside. Walking the dog this morning I had poop bags in one hand and as much garbage as my other hand could hold. It’s stunning given where we live (Ottawa) with all the city garbage and recycling cans along the sidewalks that people still through their garbage on the ground.

I've learned that I already do some good practices, and I've learned there are ways I could do better and how. Thank you for a damn wonderful series, not to mention all your damn wonderful recipes.
