I recently completed the Beginner Beekeeper course with the Wake County Beekeeper's Association and earned my certificate as a certified beekeeper!

I invested in a local clean energy project that focuses on solar power. What inspired me was the potential to reduce carbon emissions and provide affordable energy to more people. I feel proud knowing that my investment is helping to create a greener, more sustainable future for everyone.

My vision of a sustainable community is one where people use renewable energy, grow their own food, and prioritize recycling and reducing waste. To make this a reality, we’d need more accessible green technologies, better public transportation, and stronger community involvement in sustainability efforts.

I supported a local community garden project because it promotes sustainable food practices and helps reduce food waste. It resonated with me because it encourages healthy eating, builds community, and reduces our reliance on industrial agriculture. Plus, my mother has her own garden in the backyard, and I help out there when I can.

I was motivated to support solar energy for low-income communities because everyone deserves clean, affordable energy, not just the wealthy. It helps create a more equitable future by lowering energy bills, reducing pollution in underserved areas, and providing green jobs that boost local economies.
