Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Great! My daughter shared Grove Collaborative with me, which has ecofriendly products (skincare, household cleaning products, etc...) along with eco friendly shipping.

How did it feel to plant something, and what kind of gardening did you do (indoors, hydroponic, outside in a garden, etc)? What did you plant and where? Feel free to share a photo to the feed!

First time, ignorance killed strawberry plants. Second time, planted 12 strawberry, bare root seedlings, indoors, with grow light. Planning to transplant when plants grow some more and weather warms. Researched how to plant and nurture, for this time around.

What product did you replace, and why was it important to you? How do you feel about making a small change for a healthier, more sustainable home?

I started using E-Cloth and water to clean my windows and mirrors instead of harsh chemicals. The 2-cloth system works amazingly well. No streaks or lint left behind.

What did you learn about the impact of your seafood choices on ocean health? What challenges, if any, did you encounter when trying to make more sustainable seafood choices?

I'll start reading seafood labels and seek out farmed seafood or from areas that harvesting is sustainable. Thank you.
