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?

Community and Connection

What resources did you discover, and how do you think they can benefit your community? How did sharing this information make you feel more connected to your community’s needs and opportunities?

I worked together with a friend who runs urbanized meadows in the city and we put together packets of information on raised beds, seed planting schedules, and urban agriculture. I passed these packets around to people so they can set up gardens and planter boxes this spring.

We have an established garden for fruits and vegetables. To aid in growth, I've planted several different flowering plants to attract bees. This not only assists with pollination but also keeps the bee population up.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Community and Connection

How did joining a group make you feel more connected or supported? Why do you think belonging to a group is important?

Humans are social animals; we need to be a part of groups the same way we need food and water. Having that camaraderie and community gives a sense of belonging, on top of emotional support

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health and Well-Being

What product did you replace, and why was it important to you? How do you feel about making a small change for a healthier, more sustainable home?

I've replaced a lot of my cleaning supplies with distilled white vinegar. This is a MUCH cheaper alternative, and a safer/more effective cleaning solution. Just as (if not more) effective than storebought cleaning sprays, the smell dissipates after a few minutes, and doesn't leave the pungent "sea breeze" type smells lingering.

  That is a great alternative! Not only is it eco-friendly it is non-toxic and safe.
