St. Louis Goes Green!

My focus on supporting local businesses was the best thing I got from this ecochallenge.

I got plenty of outdoor time when I shut my computer off on April 26th after the Virtual Earth Day Festival came to an end.  But in doing so, I completely forgot about the ecochallenge. 

This has been an interesting eco challenge, much too short to establish habits, but I have enjoyed it just the same.

What a fun challenge that re-energized my green activities. I learned a lot and enjoyed watching our collective actions that help take care of the earth. I will do my best to keep going even though the challenge is over.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this team (thanks Hope G. for inviting me).

They are one of the most important links in the diversity part of biodiversity. Aside from the trees, which spread their pollen in the wind, it's the pollinators that distribute the genes of a plant outside of that plant's immediate vicinity

While doing the enviro-communications work I (typically, and LOVE to) do at my dining room table, appreciating the River Birch tree out one window and the dogwoods out another, I have to remind myself why I am seeing these lovely views while working. Because if I were not here, in ONE place, I'd be contributing to risk of life for countless...

I really appreciated this opportunity to focus on learning and modifying my habits in April.  It helps to have a place to check in, self-monitor progress,  and connect with others.   Thanks Ecochallenge, and thank you St. Louis Goes Green! Team.  Now,  onward and upward!!!   😊
