    Earth Month Ecochallenge DAY 30:
    We've been using shampoo bars and conditioners for almost 5 years. I'm still looking for ways to further reduce plastic usage in the bathroom.

    Growing up I often timesls get hand-me-down stuff, especially clothing and toys. Now that I'm older, I see the value of secondhand things beyond the looks. Extending the lifecycle of things help lessen our waste and is very economical

    In this photo is a bagful of beautiful blouses and kid's romper given by my Team Lead, Mags, who share my affinity with secondhand clothing.

    Earth Month Ecochallenge DAY 28:
    As we are about to wrap Earth Month's Ecochallenge, let us keep doing all the learnings and put them into practice, as well as the good habits we have developed along the way. Let us also allow ourselves to unlearn those that harmful to all living beings, ourselves included, even if the challenge is over.

    Habits are challenging to develop if there are too many frictions involved. Tweaking and refining our systems by removing obstacles and making it obvious, easy, attractive, and satisfying (see James Clear's Atomic Habits book), we will be able to reinforce the behaviors we have learned throughout the Ecochallenge.

    It is truly fulfilling to be a part of something bigger. From being a lone advocate in my community back in 2018 fast forward to 2023, with Emerson as a sponsor of Earth Month Ecochallenge and 4,105 individuals doing what they can to create ripples towards creating a positive environmental impact. I no longer need to imagine what we can do as an organization, as I see many sustainable actions unfolding each day.

    Wok up early this morning to greet our backyard pets. It's already a busy morning for the carpenter bees and local birds. One particular bird species that frequent our guava tree is the Pycnonotus goiavier. Beautiful songs greet us every morning whenever they are around.

    In the olden days, belonging to a tribe means improved wellbeing and security. The same is true until today, despite the many science and technological advancements. Belonging to a community allows us take root so we can grow healthy in an environment with a good support system.

    I am thankful for the community that we belong to. Where neighbors know you and people care for one another and the availability of spaces where we can practice mindfulness.
