Declutter and Donate

Decluttering can reduce stress and benefit others. I will declutter my home and donate items I no longer need to support others in my community.

DAILY ACTIONS

Take Shorter Showers

Conserving water helps protect this precious resource. I will shorten my showers to 5 minutes to save water and reduce energy use - each time saving up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water!

DAILY ACTIONS

Wildlife

Plant (or Adopt) a Plant

Landscaping with native plants, gardening, and having plants inside can have benefits for nature and our health. I will plant or adopt a new plant or grow one from seeds and post a photo of it to the feed.

Hi all! I am very surprised by the significant impact reducing my shower time has had. I used to think that a ten-minute shower was reasonable, but I've realized there's a lot more I can do. Similarly, I have been donating and decluttering in my space and am surprised by the amount of stuff I don't need and have, honestly, mindlessly accumulated. Learning about the production and consumption treadmill has challenged me to critically evaluate purchases and how I can reuse the things that I have.

How did it feel to plant something, and what kind of gardening did you do (indoors, hydroponic, outside in a garden, etc)? What did you plant and where? Feel free to share a photo to the feed!

I adopted several plants to bring a bit of the outdoors inside. They bring a bit of joy to my space. I adopted an air plant, a string of pearls, a string of dolphins, a string of frogs, a swiss cheese, and a ponytail palm.

I may have adopted a few extra plants! :) I really like how my new friends have brightened up my space and made it feel a lot more colorful. Knowing that plants also help our air quality provides further reason to adopt more plants!
