Over the past 17 days, I’ve focused on building connections with others while also making small but meaningful changes in my daily habits. I’ve been paying more attention to my health, which has felt really rewarding, and I’ve also started using reusable bags to reduce waste. It’s amazing how these small actions can add up over time, and I’m excited to continue making a positive impact!

It was inspiring to discover how many people in my area share similar values when it comes to sustainability, local support, and creating a positive environment. By building connections with my neighbors, I’ve realized how much stronger our community can be when we work together. Whether it's helping one another in times of need, or simply sharing ideas, these bonds make our neighborhood a more supportive and resilient place.

I learned about Xiye Bastida, a remarkable young leader in the climate movement. What inspires me most about her is her fearless advocacy and ability to mobilize youth for climate justice, reminding us that we all have the power to create change. To support young leaders like her in my community, I am planning to volunteer with local initiatives, attend youth-led events, and help amplify their voices through social media to ensure their messages reach a wider audience.
