Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
I came across this question a couple weeks back and I wish I hadn't (ignorance is bliss? lol) Not having coffee period would be the most sustainable choice, but for now we can start small and ask for it with non-dairy milk and in your own container. The Earth will appreciate it a latte. (honestly I'm just here to make myself feel better and laugh)
It wasn't until the end of last year that trash became an overwhelming thought in my head. I asked my family to keep their cardboard, paper, and plastic for a couple of weeks until I came home. We then drove for 10 minutes and were able to recycle 60lbs of different materials. (and we got a couple dollars out of it!) This is the picture of Brownsville Scrap Paper. Looking at it is so reminiscent of the movie Wall-E. Most of us watched that movie, contemplated it for a second, and moved on. We were little, but we should know better now.
