Last week, I joined the BlueGreen Alliance of Iowa on their Quality Jobs & Renewable Energy Infrastructure Bus Tour. Iowa IPL has been a proud member of this coalition since 2021.
Last week, Iowa IPL had our first staff retreat to set our organizational and individual goals to best live out our mission. It was a fruitful and exciting few days, and we learned a lot about each other and how to best work together as a team.
This new year, I made time to visit with my garlic beds. As I walked through the rows, I took notice of the fresh coats of snow painted over beds of straw – a time of rest for garlic. Soon when the weather warms and the sun shines for longer, top growth will start to appear, marking the end of dormancy.
As I write to you, I’m thinking of the stream that runs through the grove behind my house, now dry. I’ve been cutting honeysuckle out of that grove, in the hopes of planting native diversified species and watching the understory thrive one day.
Back in 2019, I spent some time traveling to both off-grid and urban farms in the western US in hopes of finding new experiences and passions. During this journey, I learned a lot about the food justice movement, which really expanded my views on the intersectionality of sustainability movements.
