Alison Perreault 4/19/2024 6:41 PMBeing purposeful about picking up litter each day really hit home today. I was at one of my University stores and when I got out of my car there was a Starbucks used, empty Iced Venti cup and straw sitting on the ground. I immediately was compelled to pick it up and look for more "trash". -

Holly Curry 4/19/2024 6:26 PMSecond-hand clothing sales can contribute to reducing negative environmental impacts by promoting clothing reuse and extending the lifespan of garments. Studies have shown that second-hand clothing markets have saved significant amounts of CO2 emissions, water consumption, and energy consumption.
Today I dropped off the first round of 30 articles of clothing to a second hand store in Nashville to receive a $250 store credit to purchase other items! 🛍️
Round 2 coming soon!

REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Raise Awareness for the Conservation of Freshwater and OceansWhat did you learn about freshwater and oceans you did not already know? In sharing this information with people in your life, which conversation was impactful to you?
Tesh Burke 4/18/2024 4:04 AMHow much freshwater does a leaky pipe waste in a house, 700-1400 gallons daily? A human only needs 64 gallons of fresh water in a month. Toilets are one of the most significant issues regarding in-house leaking freshwater.
I share this information with other family members about the importance of checking pipes and toilets more frequently.-
Holly Curry 4/19/2024 6:33 PMWow only 64 gallons!

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Community Pick Up the PhoneWhat do all of us have in common, regardless of politics, race, religion, occupation, or place we live? How can finding common ground help us as a society and as a species?
Tesh Burke 4/18/2024 3:55 AMNot to simplify the question, but if we all show a little kindness, actively listen, and appreciate open thought with the intention that it doesn't overall impact a relationship, then the world, in my opinion, would improve. We can only solve the larger issues the world has at its doorstep if we see potential in everyone and what they have to offer. -

REFLECTION QUESTION
Biodiversity + Wildlife Reduce Animal ProductsHow does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Mackenzie Adams 4/16/2024 6:24 PMThe production of meat, especially beef and lamb, is associated with high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane and nitrous oxide. Livestock farming contributes to deforestation, as land is cleared for grazing and feed production, and it releases methane from enteric fermentation (digestive processes in animals) and manure management.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Biodiversity + Wildlife Use Reusable BagsHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Mackenzie Adams 4/16/2024 6:24 PMReusable bags are like gold in my household. We use them for everything! I just recently moved and saved a lot of money by using reusable bags vs purchasing cardboard boxes and tape. This also made moving a little easier because the bags have handles!
