Create #Waterloo has a new Trail Mix compilation out.
(The idea here is you're supposed to scan the QR code you see on a sign on a local trail and listen to local music as you stroll. But it's all done through Bandcamp. I just follow their bandcamp and get updated on new mixes every year or two).

More and more European local shops are closing because europeans still use US google (maps), and they won't favor local shops.
We need more and more people who go shop at locals, and that's exactly why I build Lokjo, the map which filters corporations and chains from the category search.
Support the european economy, support locals. Use our map. 😊

Greenroots Gallery: Art, Nature & Creative Business in One Space
I still remember my first visit. It was 2023, and I walked into Greenroots for a meeting with fellow creatives alongside the owner. From the moment I set foot there, I knew this space was different. There’s a quiet energy that surrounds you as soon as you arrive—something that feels both inspiring and peaceful at the same time. That first encounter left a mark, one that I still carry with me every time I return. Located at Shop No 1 at Greenroots, right next to Beauty and Nail Adventure […] -
Today is #diday ! Which means switch your corporate services to a non-corporate service. Awesome.
For the european newcomers, if you want to know which country you financially support when using online services, we have a nifty little list/test here, quick and easy
Give it a share if you like, it's all about awareness! 😊

#ClimateResilient #Gardening: Stories and Examples
Growing food #locally is a #ClimateChange solution
Updated: April 1, 2026
"How are #Maryland gardeners adapting their #gardens and #GreenSpaces to climate change? We posed this question to our colleagues in the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and they shared examples of everything from #composting and food gardening to #PlantingTrees and #NativePlants, installing #RainGardens, and more!
"Action on climate change is needed on a large scale, and our individual daily actions add up also. Check out these stories and take our quick poll at the end. Tell us how you're doing climate-resilient gardening!"

On the Lokjo map, when clicking the blue Quick button, there's about 60+ different categories for local shops to search for your needs.
There's more to find through the regular search.
I'm working on a fix for some missing ones, which should be done in the next weeks.
If anything isn't there, just let me know.
p.s. Lokjo comes in english, spanish, french, dutch and german language.

Lokjo is not just 'a map', it's a solution to many problems.
It helps you find non-corporate locations, so your money doesn't end up in things like lobbying, political bubbles, forced labour, profit-wars, polution, and way more.
It's a nifty little map, with big intentions. 😊

Quick question
would you not use a pro-european map just because it's not available as an app?

#LifecyclesProjectSociety partnered with local #IceCream maker - #ColdComfort. They created a #LocalFirst - #pear ice cream. It's made from some of the pears we gleaned around the community as part of our #FruitTreeProject.

Here is the second #FarmersMarket mentioned by my state senator...
Wednesdays (starting July 2nd), from 4:00pm - 7:30pm at Mechanics Park.
Farmers, makers market coming to Biddeford this summer
Biddeford will join the list of local communities with farmers markets and makers markets as the city’s first market gets ready to open this summer.
Posted March 25
Sydney Richelieu"Farmers and makers markets are popular in towns along the seacoast, and as warmer weather approaches, markets are getting ready to open.
"This summer, Biddeford will debut its first farmers and makers market in downtown, piloted by the Downtown Development Committee (DDC).
"The committee had been discussing a possible public market for over a year when the Courier reported on the idea in February."

So, I love my state senator! He mailed me a postcard with two new #FarmersMarkets in the area (in addition to an existing one nearby in #SacoME)!
Here is the first one that was highlighted...
#DaytonME Farmer's Market
Saturdays from 8:00am - 2:00pm at 24 Jessica May Road in Dayton“What makes the farmers market such a special place is that you’re actually creating community around food.”

We’ve never ordered anything from #Amazon (no shade to those who have no other option). We prefer to #BuyLocal, and we lament the closure of many local stores (e.g., we remember when there were 4 locally owned office supply stores nearby—now 0). Most of us are compelled to shop big box stores now.
A local #Target store was opened for years before we succumbed to occasional Target purchases. We do appreciate their drive-up / bike-up option to pick up our purchases—no need to enter the store!
We’re also grateful that a friend who no longer used these Ortlieb panniers gave them to us on “permanent loan."

When I saw a gorgeous knife in the hands of a local chef, I had to ask about it.
Turns out it was a custom-forged knife made by Tom Stegner, a knifesmith here in Kitchener! Needless to say, you *know* I wanted to talk (and write) about him for my CBCKW Food column ☺️
And I got knife tips (😉) for the home cook, from Conestoga College's Sean Duffy :)
