Haha. You sound exactly like me on this one. I was just going to pass and not worry about it.

My desire to avoid Wordle has been competing with my desire not to give up my streak of having participated every day in each of the three years this has been going. Um, not that I’m competitive or anything. [emoji1787]

One form of sustainability (re-use) – leaving the remnants of this log home in place and building the senior retirement home around it. It stabilizes the ruins and gives the residents a lovely piece of history around which to gather when the weather is nice.

Solar panels on this home reduce dependency on electricity produced by consumables.

There are many signs like this along the W&OD, and truly the trail is generally remarkably clean of trash — at least the section that I ride.

Since you asked (well, not really, but I’m answering anyway). This program is currently being updated. There are about 6 sections that will be open for adoption. Adoption doesn’t cost money, but rather a minimum 2 year commitment that your organization will get out and clean up the trash on the trail at least 4 times per year. One of the sections that doesn’t have a current adopter but desperately needs cleanup is in Sterling near Ruritan Road. Rather than wait until it gets adopted (we’re working on that) The Friends of the W&OD is sponsoring and participating in a clean up there tomorrow (Monday, Feb 20) starting at 9 am and finishing at noon. NovaParks provides the trashbags, grabbers, and safety vests. If you’d like to join us, we will welcome you enthusiastically. Kbikeva & Leftylaura will be there with swag, coffee and donuts.

Solar power is certainly one way of the future. This house had four of these in the yard. I could only get two of them in the picture. These things are huge!

Thankful for all the trail work at Camp Tamarancho, trails were in great shape!

Looks like they need someone to “clean up” the signage as well.

Sunday* Show us a piece of a sustainable future
A sustainable future will have to combine both renewable energy for the built environment and modes of transportation within, as well as building in the right places … such as above the flood zone in the face of rising sea [emoji305] levels.

Arlington County has a robust residential and commercial recycling program, with curbside pickup and numerous drop-off sites. Also, there is food scrap collection which uses small (~12 inch tall) kitchen caddies.

Always an option! But weren’t you the one giving us all those anagrams? Sort of similar, but less prescribed, I guess.

You must have the wrong person. I’m quite sure I’m not an anagram person. I’m an alliteration person!

Adventure Playground is an urban park and adventure playground in Berkeley, California, located at the Berkeley Marina. The park opened in 1979 based on the ideas of Danish architect Carl Theodor Sørensen, who had made use of scrap junkyards for playgrounds when Copenhagen was under occupation during World War II. The adventure playground model, sometimes referred to as a “junk playground,” is to provide children with the resources to build. The available tools include saws, hammers, workbenches, and nails. The legal liability raised by giving children relatively unrestricted access to these tools has made adventure playgrounds rare in the United States, with the Berkeley Adventure Playground being one of only four in the country.

Parents have to sign a waiver before kids can go into play.

All this construction is the future Trolley Trail connection through Hyattsville, which will make it easier for bike commuters in the future!
