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?
It's still too cold to plant, BUT I did expand my raised garden by reusing dirt and some wood from a poorly placed raised bed that I made in 2020. (It never got enough sun due to my neighbor's tree) I added an extra 7' of length bringing it to 13' long by 4' wide!
Climate & EcosystemsCollect Litter on a Plog / Plalk
What was your experience like plogging, or engaging in another way to collect litter while being outside? Was there any item you collected that was unusual that you found?
Not Vegan, but Spinach Casserole with cheese! I left out the bacon :) I used while wheat flour and I feel like maybe I didn't cook it long enough to remove the flavor but otherwise, it's delicious!
Instead of heading inside after some shopping, we took advantage of the sunshine! (She took her jacket and shoes off after several minutes if jumping) We plan to walk around & pick up some trash after lunch and a nap!
