    I planted some cosmos, but I really want to plant milkweed. I just didn't have time to get to a seed store in town that carries them.

    I'm not going to make planting a tree in time for the challenge, but tomorrow (May 1) we are going to Arbor Day Farm with my kids school, and I think we'll bring a tree home!

    It is going great! The Green Team hosted a potting event instructed by the Latino Center of the Midlands gardening program lead. It was very informative and a super fun and interactive event. Thanks to all on the Green Team that helped put this together :)

    At lunch I was about to reach for a disposable item and then thought, no, let me go get a reusable one instead! It wasn't any harder, I just had to think before I grabbed. I appreciate that this month helps prompt me to be more aware!

    I joined a call today about Deloitte's sustainability and client conversations. It was interesting to hear about the things Deloitte is doing, and what others are doing. We attempted composting a while ago but didn't stick with it; thinking about exploring it again (not that we will be like DU!).

    We were very busy this weekend, but I'm excited to plant some seeds with my kids this week for some flower for the pollinators!

    Last year I had 5 minute showers as one of my daily goals, and while it wasn't an option this year I have been trying to keep it in mind! Easier some mornings than others to move quickly!

      You are so right! spending only 5 minutes in the shower doesn't just save water, it also saves your time.

    My parents live just over a mile away, so instead of driving over to see them I walked. I appreciate that I can work from home and so get to cut down on my driving in general.

      I love this! I live super close to Askarben and a grocery store so i've been walking to those places as much as i can instead of driving!

    Hit two vegan meals today! But my meal plan for dinner includes garlic bread so won't make it there (although I suppose you could if planned correctly!). Meal planning helps take stress out of my evenings - I appreciate at the end of the day not having to make a decision about what to cook.
