This class was awesome.  So thank you to all of you guys!  Yay you!  I wanted to include a few pictures of my poster because if it’s to be reused I won’t have any to share ever again!  I’ve learned from some of the other presenters in this course that a big step is just ‘letting go’ of material goods.  Being too good of a consumer is nothing to be proud of and I’m teaching irrational habits to my children!

So pictures are a wonderful way to go!  Taking photos of the things I want so I can have them forever without the mess.  I’ve started to do this with some (but not all) of my children’s artwork as well.  Because they create a TON of it.  Anywho…

Here are my three super kids in front of the poster.  The one on the far right made this poster twice as hard to put together than it should have been.

Also the can in front is an industrial sized Ravioli can that we were saving to use as a camp stove.  Turns out Ravioli’s had some of the highest BPA’s tested.

I felt this was the most important to the course and this project.  It seemed the environmental effects of BPA were rarely talked about.  And the more research I did the more I realized it was a serious concern that should be addressed.  Anything that messes with the developmental cycle of animals in the wild that WE put there should be evaluated and NOT dismissed.

Many people thought that these may have been exaggerated risks.  But even if there is a grain of truth (which research provides evidence of concrete proof) this shouldn’t occur for a product that could easily not be used to package our food stuffs.

Thanks again everyone!  It was such a fun class and I took away a wealth of insight from our group discussions.

Also…. I wanted to share with everyone the wild garlic that I didn’t get to bring in to the last day of class.  : (   Here’s a picture though.

This is where my youngest son got a small cut and his older brother decided to try a “natural bandaid”.

And Morels we found on the same trip.
