Worms and Weather: Further complications in the journey of mushroom identification

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionJanuary 7, 2022

by Learning Lead – Hannah Brown Hello again and welcome! Thank you for continuing to join me in my journey as a beginner mushroom forager who hasn’t foraged anything yet (and probably won’t this year). I have loved how mushroom foraging has made me more aware of the weather than ever; mushrooms need rain. It…

Bringing green onions scraps to life

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 23, 2021

by Learning Lead – Elisabeth Huang One of the first things I learned to grow successfully when I was living in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in an adorable little home but with little growing space was green onions. With little space to grow my little green friends, I filled my small green pot with some soil…

Making Bike Mechanics’ Aprons from Recycled Jeans (Part 2)

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 23, 2021

by Learning Lead – Fidel Pacay It has been a fun journey so far learning to operate the sewing machine that I chose to to do this project with.  I am very impressed by the ingenuity and engineering that went into the design of the Singer 4452 Heavy Duty Machine. It’s practicality makes learning how to sew…

Electricity 101

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 16, 2021

by Learning Lead – Amy Darrell I am not sure when it happened, but I have become a total energy geek. I love hearing about creative ways to produce and use energy. I get positively giddy when I read stories about a company in Scotland developing an inventive way to store energy using abandoned mine shafts or…

Cautiously, Optimistically Carving and Connecting over Spoons (Part 2)

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 16, 2021

by Learning Lead – Segen Mehreteab Greetings everyone, happy fall! Though, I will openly admit that fall isn’t my favourite season. Shorter and cooler days are tough and anticipate winter, but it feels like a worthy compromise for the holidays and beautiful colours of leaves changing. I have had a really exciting time learning more…

Giving Food Waste a New Life: An ode to ‘ugly’ produce, citrus rinds, and more

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 16, 2021

by Learning Lead – Rachel Krueger For weeks I’ve been eating slightly bruised, unsightly and nearly-“off” food and admittedly, I feel… absolutely fine! I used to scoff at my dad, who our family lovingly referred to as “The Vacuum”, or “The Human Garbage Can” for his ability to scarf down everyone’s remaining food on their…

Let’s Make a Boat Part 1/2 – Supplies and the skeleton of a boat

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 16, 2021

by Learning Lead – Paul Whipp Finally the time has come. The time we have all been waiting for. It’s time to start building my boat! I am splitting the build into two blog posts. In this first blog post (1/2), I am going to share how I gathered and prepared supplies and built my…

Do Worms Crawl Upwards or Downwards?

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 9, 2021

by Learning Lead – Melinda Munding Most learning experiences would not feel whole and fulfilling without some side steps and mistakes. It is these challenges that really get my brain processing the experience! In my last post, I detailed that we had migrated our worms from the first bin and into the second bin. Using…

Sonic Signature of a Small Lake in Late Summer

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 9, 2021

By Learning Lead – Melissa Dick As a Learning Lead with Waterlution, Melissa is learning about wild soundscapes by capturing audio recordings and listening. Read about her first soundscape recording experience here.  My second soundscape recording and listening activity took place at Lac des Battures, a small lake located on Îles-des-Soeurs in Montréal, Quebec, on…

On the Mend, Part 2

Blog, Cautious Optimist, Waterlution BlogBy WaterlutionNovember 9, 2021

by Learning Lead- Katie Yantzi It’s taken me a bit longer than I’d hoped to tackle this next mending skill, for a few reasons: I’ve been busy with other life projects (including moving to a new city and home), but I was also a bit intimidated by mending knits. Why exactly? I’m not sure. I’ve…
