REFLECTION QUESTION
Cultivating Communities Share My Habits & Actions

What was the most fun or joyful way you have seen others share their positive sustainability actions and habits?

I don't have a lot of bumper stickers, but I primarily ride my bike everywhere. At places like the grocery store or even on campus, I sometimes get asked how difficult it is to pack, or carry, items and commute.

I would like to do more about sharing other parts of my environmentally friendly choices. Eating plant based (vegan), buying green certified products like dish soap, purchasing animal cruelty free hygiene products are just some of the things I could be more open about.
