    Top 3 Take Aways from this months challenge.
    1 - We move through our days too quickly - The age of convenience has caused us to create more waste and think less about about what we're doing and where our trash and waste are going.
    2 - Plants and Vegetables are vital - Pollinators, food systems, and people depend on a healthy green planet and without it we fail. Growing plants is not easy and farmers don't get enough visibility for their contributions to society.
    3 - Knowledge is power - Knowing how your ancestors ate, survived, and lived in a world without dependency on technology, electrical grids, and grocery stores is true power. Surviving with the land and our co-existence with nature is fundamental to our being and going back to those roots may play a role in the battle against climate change.

    Spent 2 hours today learning more about the pollinators that I would like to add into the border of this years garden.

    What was the most rewarding part of sharing a meal or gathering? How did it strengthen relationships in your group?

    A couple of friends and I got coffee at work in the morning since they had free coffee out. The best part was just standing there for a few minutes and talking before everyone went back to what they had to do. It was not anything big, but it made the morning feel less rushed. I think it helped because we got to joke around a little and actually check in with each other instead of only talking about work.

    Can’t believe today is the last day of this challenge. Time went too fast and I definitely will continue these habits. I’ve gone a whole month without drinking soda!!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water
    What personal action did you create, and why does it matter to you?

    I chose to focus on wasting less water during activities I do every day. My main action is taking shorter showers and turning the sink off while I brush my teeth. I also tried to stop letting the water run when I am rinsing dishes, because that is something I do without thinking about it. This matters to me because it made me realize how quickly water gets wasted during normal routines. I know this is not a huge change, but it is something I can stick with. It also helps me pay more attention to the resources I use to save the future.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Soil and Food
    What did you decide to grow, and how did it feel to start (or care for) your plants? What connections did it give you to soil or food resilience?

    I grew up with parents that garden, unfortunately I live in a apartment where there is no space for plants. So I decided to go and get some cilantro and rosemary in small pots that I can place by my sink where they can get water and sunlight, and so far they are doing very well and I have been able to use a little for cooking and garnishing,

      Even a little garden is still a garden.
