REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Fix Leaky FaucetsFixing leaky faucets is one of the tasks that we can easily put off until later. Good job on completing this action! How will you use the momentum from completing this action to increase your water efficiency?

Natalie Owl 10/23/2018 10:00 AMI started taking my peels etc. home yesterday from work. Easier than I thought. It is interesting how making a big change starts with a small action that we think might be too awkward. Talked to a colleague about the composting and discovered that she used worms in her previous compost- what a great idea. The closest I've come to that is taking Isaac's 'after a heavy rain worm collection' and putting it in the garden space. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Connect with a NonprofitWhat inspires you to act toward a more sustainable community?
Christine McBain 10/23/2018 8:36 AMStudents are always my inspiration to act towards a more sustainable community! They work so hard and are under so much stress. Any way I can support them makes me happy! -
Christine McBain 10/23/2018 8:34 AMOur office is working on collecting food, toiletries, and monetary donations for URSU Cares Pantry. The fastest growing population of Food Bank users are Post-Secondary students, yet the Regina Food Bank is not able to stock the URSU Pantry due to their own stock becoming limited. There are blue drop-off bins around campus, or donations can be made at the URSU desk in the Riddell Centre. My challenge is donate five items to a local non-profit, and I have chosen to give to the URSU Pantry. Our office is donating our "jean" funds, too, which is over $100! Yay! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Advocate for More Food OptionsGiven the impact of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers on both the natural world and our food systems, what do you think about the use of these products in agriculture?
Jim D'Arcy 10/23/2018 5:44 AMI think the real challenge is in what we are willing to pay for food. Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are all meant to increase production and gains in quantity. The negatives though have a huge impact on society and in particular, our health care system. Yet government typically under funds both the production and impact sides. Hopefully, generations of the future will solve this issue. -

Natalie Owl 10/19/2018 7:02 AMI realized yesterday that I only compost at home and wondered about whether I could start composting at work. Perhaps bring a container for peels etc. or 'motivate' my coworkers to join in. I think concerns about fruit flies and odour might deter some from a larger workplace composting project. Maybe more individuals will individually compost though.
