    This challenge "pushed" me to get more active in my community, and I truly enjoyed getting to meet new neighbors and get my hands working in the
    dirt again!

    What story of community resilience inspired you the most? How might those lessons apply to your own community or networks?

    Continuing to do small things that make an impact on someone that you don't know brings great joy. We planted spring flowers at the front entry last year and they are in full bloom. So today it was decided/approved to plant more!

    I continue to be inspired by each of my IU Health ecochallenge teammates. I see you. I see the small actions and the BIG actions that each of you are taking to improve the health of our community and our planet. From bringing your lunch in with a reusable bag and containers, to bringing and refilling your own water bottle, each of these small actions make a difference. And then there are the BIG actions like carpooling, planting your own food and volunteering for neighborhood clean-up projects. Our vision at IU Health is to make Indiana one of the healthiest states. This cannot be accomplished by physicians alone. It takes each one of us and at IU Health, we are leading the way.

    I switched out my exterior light over the driveway to a red light to reduce my property's light pollution

    How did expressing gratitude or performing acts of kindness impact you and the recipient? What role do small acts of kindness play in creating stronger communities?

    Grateful and spreading joy to others, so they know that others care.

    What did you enjoy or learn from attending a local event in your community? How do local traditions and gatherings build resilience and strengthen your community’s identity?

    Arbor Day with Brownsburg Community Parks department- pick up litter in the park and then attended the tree planting demonstration. Meeting others who feel the same way was empowering. Many hands make the work lighter. Baby steps to keep our local area clean and looking great for anyone who comes to play in the park.

    I attended an ElectrifyIndiana meeting to learn more about rebates available for switching away from gas and moving to more sustainable electric appliances, etc. and rebates available if you need to update your older home's electrical system.
