Participant Feed
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?
Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Some challenges are the place you are in not having reusable cups. It's more challenging carrying a mug with you. But it's worth it to keep cups out of the landfills.
How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
I enjoy walking more. Even though is tires you out faster than driving you get to see things more. It's hard to do many things without driving, but it feels good to help the environment.
We had wild rice for dinner, inspired by the food sovereignty documentary we watched! This was a gift from friends in Minnesota, grown by an indigenous tribe there.
