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?
Just read about a school campaign project for kids to promote a new community habit : to have vehicles around schools stop idling their cars; especially parents picking up their kids. Not that I’m in a position to make this happen but I’m trying to remember to turn my car off when waiting in traffic.
How did being mindful of vehicle idling change your perspective on fuel consumption and air quality? What other transportation habits can you adopt to reduce your environmental impact?
