I would like to thank all my teammates and Joan Schrammeck, our Sound Water stewards team captain, for your hard work and participation this month. I wish that I could post on the team page or on Joan's, but I don't know how or if it's possible. I tried my best to win 1st place for our team. This is J27 Blackberry as he comes in to say hello. Thanks again,

Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?
Yes, I put my actions to work when out and about. I pick up other peoples trash and dog poop when walking our beautiful trails in nature. I adopted the Cranberry Lake Trail in Cama Beach State Park on Camano Island and keep it free of trash and other debris for all to enjoy.
As a sendoff on this, our last day of the orca eco challenge, I like to show you a photo that I took in November a few years ago of our orcas in downtown Seattle.
When I forget my bag, I gather the purchases in my arms...can't buy as much, have to leave the treats behind! If I forget my dear reusable cup, no coffee. Not without challenges. I need to remember bags for produce. And sometimes coffee places will waste a cup to make the coffee they then pour in my mug.
How has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
I've always had good access to public transportation. I took the bus to work when I lived in Seattle. Since moving to Camano Island, I drive much less and combine errands to only drive about once a week or less. Also, carpooling is an option now.
Great fall walk today at the Camano Ridge Forest Preserve. It was much warmer than I expected. So many mushrooms growing everywhere in the forest. I especially loved these growing on a log.
