KWANZAA and SUSTAINABILITY

Kwanzaa Sustainable Climate Action

Today we celebrate the beginning of Kwanzaa! As the followers of Tech4Boomers already are aware, I am a Climate Advocate, and I am happy to share the quote about sustainability at this website https://knotzland.com/ourstory



Just as Kwanzaa encourages unity within communities, Knotzland has unity with material resources. May the interconnectedness of all living beings foster a sense of responsibility for preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems in the New Year.

In addition to exploring themes of unity, Kwanzaa serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of cultural heritage and community resilience, both of which are vital in our collective mission to combat climate change.

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING and CLIMATE ACTION TIPS

As many of Tech4Boomers followers know, I like to take part in being a Climate Advocate, committed to raising awareness about climate change. This month, I want to share meaningful ways for you to help with this issue and make a difference for our environment. Even small steps can lead to significant change. One easy action, especially during the holidays when we tend to overbuy, is to be mindful of how much food we purchase. By planning our meals and shopping carefully, we can reduce food waste, which cuts down on our carbon footprint and saves resources. Let’s be more conscious of our consumption as we celebrate with our loved ones.

Forks Over Knives is a website, which provides invaluable information about how we can prepare our meals with a climate friendly touch :). Some of the recipes include salads, desserts, main dishes and more.
