  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Climate + Air Use Muscle Power
    How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

    I have slowly started biking more around the city. It can be scary because even if there are bike lanes, there are often obstacles like cars and construction that you have to dodge. As I've been biking more, I've become an advocate for safer biking and also been trying to get the right gear, like bright colors and lights to make me more visible. I love biking when there's not traffic, especially on designated bike paths. I'd love to live in a car free world!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Freshwater + Oceans Smart Seafood Choices
    Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

    WOW this was so interesting! I used the SeafoodWatch.Org recommendations page and made a note in my phone for buy/avoid for all the seafood I cook and eat so that next time I go to the grocery store to buy fish, I know exactly what to avoid. I've always known some seafood is better choice than others, but have never spent the time to know the differences.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    How does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?

    It's never ending - you pick up trash in your yard or when you take a walk and the next day there's more. However, you never know who is watching and if someone sees you picking up trash, they may also be inspired to do the same when they take a walk.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Freshwater + Oceans Cooking Oil Disposal
    Did anything about this action surprise you? Do you use more or less oil than you thought?

    It is intuitive once you read it, but nat geo suggests letting the oil dry so that it can be poured directly into the trash/compost rather than pouring it into a separate container. Pouring it into a separate container 1) adds that container to the landfill 2) makes it impossible for the oil to escape and break down in the landfill

    I am SO excited to start my first ever ecochallenge! I already do a lot of sustainability efforts, but the ecochallenge has given me so many more ideas.

    I am excited to be participating in this year's eco-challenge! I took a quick look at many of the activities and am eager to expand my impact. Hopefully we'll have many other folks joining the challenge within the next few days. Cheers!
