Cotter Consulting Ecochallenge 2024

Trees need us and we need them. Planting trees and taking care of them builds up our communities and connects us to something bigger.

Working together with others creates a special sense of shared ownership and accomplishment.

It's a way to give back and do our part so that we can all enjoy our open areas, especially our natural spaces.

I used to think about my water footprint in terms of how much water I used daily and tried to reduce how much running water I actually used for daily activities. But our water footprint involves much more than that, like how much water it takes to produce the foods we consume or the clothes we wear.

I used to work in retail and often found it hard to avoid buying unnecessary things. Now I am much more aware about the impact of consumerism and try to repurpose items I already have over buying new ones. It's not always easy but it can be done.

I took a different route during my lunch walk today. I got me paying more attention to my surroundings and noticing small things, like little spring sprouts.

I will eat less red meat and choose more plant based options
