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?

    Regenerating Nature Advocate for Forest Protection
    Higher standards of living are very often dependent on moving our environmental costs elsewhere. What are some specific ways the environmental impacts of your own lifestyle might be shifted elsewhere?

    It was interesting, enlightening and a short investment of time in this challenge to see what my state senators and representative are doing or not doing to help the environment. 
    Supporting my local (and beyond) trees and vegetation are always a goal. I am more aware to look for the  FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) label on things like office paper, tissue paper, lumber, furniture, and packaging.

    What have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?

    I think twice if this is something that will benefit my family and the environment I live in too!
