๐ฟ Our time at Shelburne Farms in Vermont was more than just beautiful scenery — it was an inspiring, hands-on lesson in sustainability. I'm standing in front of a solar retrofitted historic barn structure on the site.
We learned about the growth of organic crops, met barnyard animals up close, and explored how ecological balance and animal stewardship support our environment and food systems. A perfect blend of education, nature, and fresh air! ๐๐พ๐
It's a great stop if you're in the Burlington area and our little one especially enjoyed walking around everywhere, engaging with the animals and activities! We plan to visit again in the future to support the educational mission of this great cause.
Shelburne Farms runs on donations, check out their website to learn how you can support them.

Had an incredible weekend exploring the beautiful grounds of Villanova University during the alumni retreat—great memories, even better company amongst the class of 2010 , and a campus that is welcoming.
As a graduate of the CUNY system, I'm inspired by excellence in higher education and renewed by the spirit of a tight knit campus community. Villanova is making strides in expansion- both physically and educationally via its curriculum and services.
Despite their different structures (Villanova being a private Catholic university and CUNY a large public university system), I noticed several similarities in their campus sustainability operations.
Both have a climate action plan integrated into their strategic planning and operations, both have invested in energy retrofits for existing buildings on campus, both encourage sustainable transportation via walking and bicycling, and both exhibit clear waste recycling practices on campus.
These strategies help foster a resilient and environmentally friendly commmunity!
