    How did collecting rainwater influence your understanding of sustainable water use? What tasks or activities could benefit most from rainwater collection in your household?

    I set up 3 large plastic pots to collect rainwater, and then used that water to water my garden, which includes tons of pollinator plants!

    What was the most rewarding part of bringing people together for a gathering? Did you experience any challenges in hosting, and if so, how did you overcome them?

    I hosted a group gathering this past Friday for a community celebration in my culture called Shabbat, were we turn off our phones, TVs etc, and spend time over a shared meal.

    What surprised me most was, even simple products that I thought had safe chemicals, turned out to be not safe anymore!

    Going well, especially the Earth Day Bayshore Clean-up where we removed so much trash along the Bay Trail waterways. One type of trash I kept picking up was the plastic dental flossers! : P

    What did you learn about the sacred site’s history and significance? Why are these sites important to protect, support, and understand?

    I was able to visit and learn about a site near the place where I recently moved to. I recently moved to Emeryville, and I am so grateful for this challenge, because it really pushed me to explore in ways I might not have otherwise done! I visited the Emeryville Shellmound (a nearby street is named after it!) which is a former Ohlone burial ground. It is so awe inspiring since it was a vital part of the Ohlone people's culture for centuries, I am amazed to see historical artifacts in the modern day.

    My recent favorite health and wellness resource is an app called Runna! I have loved running for a few years now (hated it in high school!) and recently I've been trying to track my progress in order to make incremental improvements. The app runna has been creating a plan for me and helping guide my progress. It does cost money, but I've been using the free trial for the last couple of weeks, and then I'll see if I decide to keep the paid version lol!
