5/12 -Linguathon Reading Vlog | 4 Books for the Readathon! | 1 DNF | Monthly Vlog
Hi, I’m Mo.
In April I participated in the Liguathon Readathon and vlogged my reading! I read 4 books and had one DNF. Enjoy this monthly vlog!
I really liked this readathon put on my Annie Mcnulty and Noel7Pages ( https://www.youtube.com/c/ceiyr). I will link their announcement videos below! Linguathon is all about books with different languages, translated works, bilingual characters, verse, prose, dialect, and more. There are nine prompts and I completed seven of nine. This readathon really got me out of my comfort zone which was good! I read 4 books and had one DNF. I plan to finish that book at some point, but for now it was a little too much for me!

5/14 - One More Month To Zero Waste | Meatless Monday in May 2021 | Small steps to a more sustainable life!
Hi, I’m Mo.
It's May, so it's time for 1 More Month Of Zero Waste! We make small steps towards a big goal! Go meatless, fishless, eggless, or dairyless (depending on what you already don't eat) one day each week in May 2021.
Going meatless (or whatever you are giving up) one day a week is a small and easy step to help us give up meat entirely some day! The industrial meat, dairy and fish industries are HUGE waste generators and be reducing out consumption we can extend the life of the planet!! No need to give it up all at once, but it is something to strive for! A great amendment to this challenge would be to only buy local small farm meat, sustainable local fish, or dairy and eggs from nearby farms! Once you start looking out for these avenues to find non industrial food, you might never go back!
Check out some of my vegan and vegetarian recipes on my blog: http://www.madcatquilts.com/blog/category/Recipe

What will you give up eating on Mondays? I'm planning to do cheeseless Mondays and store bought cheese for the month!
