The Alliance for Watershed Education’s (AWE) Delaware River Watershed Fellowship program may be for you. The program employs fellows across 23 different watershed centers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. All fellows will participate in a 3-day overnight training at the Pocono Environmental Education Center (this training may be moved to zoom depending on COVID restrictions), with supplemental webinars throughout the summer designed to engage fellows from different centers with each other and educate fellows on conservation across the watershed. Click here to view the list of watershed centers involved in the program — each center’s page provides specific information on eligibility requirements.

The battery pack is the key component that differentiates an e-bike from normal bikes, so you need to pay special attention to battery age and capacity. If you are buying an electric bike that’s more than four years old, chances are good that you will have to replace its battery. The exact number depends on the battery pack, but for reference a new battery should give you 41.7V. The voltage drops as the battery ages, so this should give you a fair idea of the overall battery health. The battery pack is the most important component to check when buying a used electric bike.

I’ve been volunteering with a local organization to help folks get vaccination appointments. so challenging to get appointments when they fill up so fast, when websites are cumbersome, or when people don’t have the time/know-how to navigate the system. If you are tech-savvy and want to help out, I encourage you to find a local organization to support - or, just post on your neighborhood Facebook group asking if anyone needs help. If you’re in San Diego and need help, fill out a form here and someone (maybe me!) will book your appointment.

I was always one of those people that would like and comment right away to other people’s posts, but there were a few people in our group that would literally post and run And having those people ‘like’ my content that were not my followers, that were not my target audience, and did not spend more than a split second on my post made the algorithm all read that as “FAKE”. You posted a Pin and then a few hours later, it was shuffled to a position farther down on the Board that is past people’s short attention spans of scrolling to get to. Now say you posted 5 times – 4 times on your own boards and 1 time on a group board, received 1,000 views on those 4 that you posted on your board and only 3 views on that one Pin that you posted on the Group board, well now your average views per Pin is around 800 views per Pin instead of 1,000.

I don’t want a bunch of open shelving because I feel like it ends up creating surfaces that then require unnecessary things like art and plants and bowls that aren’t ever used. Yet, there’s something so nice about having everything we use frequently at arm’s reach, and I like seeing useful items to make the kitchen feel more like a lived-in humble space. The perfectly utilitarian open storage system that instantly adds charm and functionality. Note my previous renderings included open shelving by the range, but I’ve since vetoed those and will do art instead.

The Bella Vista Neighbors Association (BVNA), a nonprofit community organization dedicated to public safety, preservation, and community building, has been crowdfunding since 2018 to pay for their own street sweeping. There were a lot of members of the board who were really interested in litter and waste management and who think that the city needs to be doing more to keep our neighborhoods clean,” says Alison Perelman, chair of BVNA’s beautification committee. When the city didn’t provide, BVNA decided to hire ACAM management, a minority- and woman-owned cleaning company which had been working with other civic associations such as the Queen Village Neighbors Association, to start cleaning the neighborhood’s streets. While the program’s success is an incredible model for other neighborhoods and civic associations, it is important to recognize that not all neighborhoods have access to the resources that Bella Vista does.
