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?
Action alert! night at the County to gather public testimony on proposed EPA rule changes that regulate coal fired power plants and vehicle efficiency standards. If you are free, this is a great chance to get involved.
Best thing I did this weekend was spend an afternoon with my family at Oxbow Park. The dry weather is keeping the salmon from spawning, we need more rain to raise the water level so that the fish can spawn. But the sunshine and warm weather made for a great day outside, and helped our family commit to more time outside, rain or shine!
Biking in the rain today. I guess it is that time of year. But after such a dry summer and so many fires, I don't mind so much. Thankful to have good waterproof clothes!
Nice job! If you didn't have good waterproof clothes, here's another totally legit way to stay dry! I kinda want to be this person: nothing fair-weather about this.
Lets go MultCo! First day of EcoChallenge! Besides logging your actions you can also do two more important things, commit to attending an MultCo ecochellange event, and invite other to join events and signup. Lets try and double our participants by the end of the week!
EcoChallenge 2018 starts in 2 days, but I got a head start on my goal this weekend by opting for a plant based meal at a local Portland restaurant, HUB's Bike Bar on Williams. I really wanted a burger, and noticed that they had the Beyond Burger on the menu. I went for it, and it was one of the best burgers I have had at a restaurant in recent memory. I got all I wanted out of my meal, with 90% fewer Greenhouse Gas emissions. Reducing animal protein in your diet does not mean becoming anything other than a more conscious consumer, and it does not mean giving anything up. If you can have a tasty burger with no meat, then maybe you can have it all!
I am stoked to get going on the eco-challenge. Most of the time we think about habits as bad things, but they don't have to be. A habit can be really positive, like a the habit of taking the stairs, or taking a walk during lunch. I can use more good habits in my life and the Eco-challenge is a great way of doing that. I want to make a habit this October for good.
A few years ago I committed to only buying coffee if I have a reusable cup. With the eco-challenge upon us it is a good reminder to recommit to the things I have done in the past and finds new ways of making small changes for good. One thing I am going to commit to is eating less meat!
