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?

One place that has shaped who I am today is the community library in my hometown. It was cozy and I loved looking through all the books. It definitely felt magical to me and impacted how much I love a library now.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Oceans Learn about Our Oceans

What is one way in which oceans support your life on Earth? What is one way you can help take care of ocean health with your actions?

Pamela Symes 10/21/2020 6:08 AM

Oceans support life on Earth by contributing to the ecosystem which keeps the Earth alive and functioning. I can help take care of ocean health by not eating seafoods that are in high demand and are unethically sourced.

How difficult or easy was it to change your diet?

Pamela Symes 10/21/2020 6:06 AM

I cannot do this if I am being totally honest. I do not want to be without coffee. But what I am doing is looking into responsible and aware coffee companies who are ethically harvesting their coffee. That way, I can support an ethical company and people trying to make an honest living and I can have my coffee too :)

Wow! I'm sort of sad this will be over soon! It was so much fun! Let's do it again next school year when we can actually complete actions outside of our homes! Congrats everyone and great job!

Cutting down on Nutella can save so many trees! It was not hard to stop eating it.

My eco tip is to get involved in how politics impacts the environment. Our elected leaders make decisions everyday that impact our environment. Stay involved, vote and promote legislation that supports a healthy environment!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate Choose Renewable Energy or Purchase Renewable Energy Credits

Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

Julia Wilson 4/21/2020 11:30 AM

To reduce my electricity usage I should get better at turning off the lights in rooms that I am not currently in. I should also get better at unplugging all of the electronics that I don't always use. Most of the light bulbs in my house have already been switched over to more energy efficient models.
