In today's world, it's easy to feel isolated and disconnected. That's why finding and nurturing a sense of community is more important than ever. Whether it's through joining a book club, participating in local events, or engaging in online groups, the connections we make with others can profoundly impact our well-being.Being part of a community provides us with a support system, a sense of belonging, and a shared purpose. It reminds us that we are not alone in our passions and struggles. The joy of shared enthusiasm, the comfort of mutual support, and the strength of collective growth are invaluable.
Let's celebrate the communities we are part of and continue to build connections that uplift and inspire us!

I recently joined an online book group. Being part of this group made me feel more supported and connected. The regular interactions and the exchange of ideas provided a sense of belonging. It was comforting to know that there were others who shared my interests and valued my contributions.Belonging to a group is crucial because it can provide a support system and a sense of identity. It allows individuals to share their experiences, learn from others, and grow together.

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand, Water, and AirWhat was hard about having a Zero Waste Day? What did you learn about yourself and your habits?

Producing no waste for a day was a lot tougher than I thought! The hardest part for me was avoiding packaging: even following a vegan diet so much of what we buy comes wrapped in plastic or at best some type of recycled material. I feel like unless you go to specialised zero-waste shops it is nearly impossible to feed yourself without generating some waste.-

Reuse and Resell Books 📚Let's give our beloved books a second life! 🌍
Why Reuse and Resell Books?- Reduce Waste: By reusing and reselling your used books, we can significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
- Save Resources: It takes a lot of resources to produce new books. Reusing and reselling helps conserve these valuable resources
- Share Knowledge: Passing on books to others spreads knowledge and fosters a love for reading!
How can you Get Involved?- Donate Books: Find local libraries, schools, or community centers that accept book donations. Your old books can find new homes and inspire others.
- Host a Book Swap: Organize a book swap event with friends, family, or your community. It's a fun way to exchange books and discover new reads
- Sell Books Online: Use platforms like Vinted, eBay, or local marketplaces to sell your books. It's a great way to earn some extra cash while still promoting sustainability.
- Create a Little Free Library: Set up a little free library in your neighborhood where people can take or leave books (or search locally for free libraries where you can trade books). It's a wonderful way to build community and encourage reading.

This weekend was all about getting my garden ready for the season! 🌞I filled my planter with rich, nutrient-packed soil to prepare for this year's strawberries. 🍓 I'm excited to see them grow and enjoy sweet, homegrown berries throughout the summer - usually with surplus growth I have enough to give to friends and family, also trading with my neighbor who has apple trees and blackberry bushes in her garden.
I also planted a variety of wildflowers to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. 🐝🦋 These flowers not only add vibrant colors to the garden but also support local wildlife, creating a thriving ecosystem.
