8 trash or treasure.png

Throughout history both urine and feces have been considered valuable assets. In fact, it was not until the 19th century that the term “Human Waste” comes into use.

More coming soon...

Driving Buffalo to Saratoga Springs, stumbled on the Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park, its 1860s saloon and this bedroom chamber pot. The pot is not an original. The glitter is. .
1. The local saloon had two small bedrooms upstairs, each with a small mattress, dresser and pot. Maybe emptied into the Erie Canal itself?
2. The Saloon and blacksmith shop, mostly for the mules that towed barges from Buffalo to Albany. And what about all that mule poop?
3. The bar. Cash register is original and the 5 is worn out - probably the cost of a beer. #cheers
4. Amazing ad for “medical rye.” It’ll cure your sobriety alright. .
Photos from my visit last Wed 10/17.

Woke up yesterday in Flint, MI and could not have asked for a better day driving to Buffalo. .
1. Mike, my host from @couchsurfing . Kind, generous, father of six now allowing his kids to be the teachers. When you meet a retired carpenter who’s learning meditation, reads Khalil Gibran and proselytizes the benefits of essential oils, HUG HIM.
2 / 3. Niagara Falls!! Oh, the glory.
4. Niagara Falls bathroom with foot washing station, presumably for Muslim folk to perform ablutions. This is what accessibility looks like. #canada

Leadership. Maybe we’re born with it. Maybe it’s ELP.

Thank you for an amazing 5 days with these glorious humans - all of us National Fellows of the Environmental Leadership Program. We dove deep into diversity / equity / inclusion, conflict styles, honed our strengths and where to improve. Plus a 💩ton of fun.
.
1. All of us at @sleepingbeardune
2. @partoftheether showing off her reusable straw and @the_pstyle - what comes in...
3. She also made some damn fine pipe cleaner coral. This is what happens when you hang with conservationists
4. We collected compost during the retreat and are so grateful to @oryanatc and @carterscompost for providing collection!
