Pedal Power: Building a bicycle-powered generator.

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJanuary 30, 2023

By: Amy Darrell I wanted to delve further into the world of pedal power. From my research, direct mechanical power is the sweet spot for powering things by bicycle. The bicycle blender I made and shared in a previous post is an excellent example of this; the spinning of the bike wheel directly spins the…

Bike Mechanics’ Aprons from Recycled Jeans

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJanuary 4, 2023

Well folks, I am happy to announce that after a couple of more sewing lessons, and some practice, I was able to construct a Bike Mechanic’s Apron from an old pair of jeans. The sewing machine cooperated nicely this time; It helped me “put together” the final work without a hitch. There were no broken…

I love colour. Amy Sinclair

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJuly 26, 2022

I love colour, it makes me happy. So, I really wanted to try natural dyeing and see what I could get using veggie scraps, and plants from our yard and nearby roadsides. We moved part way through this project so I was even able to try a couple extra plants I couldn’t find originally. I…

The Vegetables of our Labour

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJuly 6, 2022

by Learning Lead – Caden & Lily Harvest time was here at last! Come September, almost all of our vegetables were ready to be picked. Caden’s favourite type of vegetables to grow are ones like kale and bok choy which you can harvest throughout the growing season as long as you only take a few…

All you can Learn in a Weekend about Fungi

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJune 30, 2022

by Learning Lead – Hannah Brown Hi there! It’s been a while! I thought I’d build up the suspense about The Great Alberta Mushroom Foray and revel in my memories of it for longer. Highlights: Foraging at Churchill Provincial Park (with a permit thanks to the Alberta Mycological Society (AMS)). Eating the delicious creamy mushrooms…

Giving Food Waste a New Life – Avocado & Paper: An Unlikely Pair

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJune 13, 2022

by Learning Lead – Rachel Krueger A couple weeks ago, I dyed and handcrafted my own paper. I said goodbye to some junk mail, printer rejects, and yellowed ruled paper as I tossed them into a blender, sending them to a watery grave in a mixture of dye and water. With the flick of a…

Working, studying, and holding on to Hope during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Blog, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJune 10, 2022

I’ve never known whether to consider myself a millennial or a gen-z. The millennial cut-off is technically 1996, and while I was born in 1997, my peers didn’t grow up with smartphones, tablets, or the Metaverse. I still remember playing snake on my green Samsung Galaxy flip phone in high school and creating my Facebook…

Bike: Adjusting & Fixing Brakes

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionMay 26, 2022

by Learning Lead – Kristen Tymoshuk Hey everyone! Welcome back to my journey to learn how to fix bicycles. When we left off in blog two, we had just finished cleaning the bike, blowing up the tires and replacing the broken pedals. This blog is all about adjusting and fixing the brakes. As I mentioned…

Lessons learned – regrowing radish from scrap

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionMay 9, 2022

by Learning Lead – Elisabeth Huang To be honest, not every food scrap that I initially planned to regrow sprung back to life. One of the food scraps that I was hoping to regrow was radishes. I absolutely love cutting slices of radishes and submerging them into apple cider and then having them as a…
