Balancing Consumption

DAILY ACTIONS

Nourishing Food

Buy into more CSAs to source more of foods we eat regularly.

We already purchase some of our food from local fishers, farmers and growers, but still end up buying the bulk of our groceries from national sources. With more commitment and planning we could close that gap, reduce our carbon footprint, support local markets, and enjoy fresher, more humanely and sustainably produced foods.

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?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Balancing Consumption What is Sustainable Fashion?

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

(These materials can be incorporated into housewares like curtains, table clothes, napkins and quilts if they no longer serve their original purpose. Not so easy with synthetics which usually are not truly machine washable.)
Take pride in your eco-conscious choices and flaunt the fact that your clothes are second hand and/or re-purposed. The more we all make this a socially acceptable and even celebrated practice, the more people will feel comfortable doing so.
