I often am able to do both since most of my exercising is spent outside on my bike - and I ride socially at least once every week or two with a group of friends that bike. :)

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Calculate My Water FootprintHow does your view on water consumption change after completing this action?
Mary Ganska 10/07/2024 1:18 PMYour water footprint:Personal:1,489 Gallons/DayUS Average: 1,802 Gallons/Day
I think this wasn't entirely accurate - while all my electric comes from a supplier, I do choose a renewable supplier so it seems like I'm not capturing that? However, I do recognize I can be more efficient and choose to eat less meat and shorten my showers to do even better on water usage. I've made a lot of progress and my monthly water bill reflects that, but I like to strive for even better. :) -

Jeanne Poirier 10/07/2024 5:39 PMReminds me growing up how every Saturday we had to clear out the clutter on the dining room table - and not just put it on the stairs! I do so much better now after 65+ years of practice!!

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Choose Clean/Renewable EnergyHow might you be able to get others involved in advocating for the shift to clean energy?
Katelyn Haas-Conrad 10/01/2024 11:28 AMTechnically I didn't shift because we already purchase clean energy but it is of great importance to us. I know we use a lot of energy with our appliances and heating/cooling so buying clean is good. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Sign Up to VoteWhy is voting important to creating a just, sustainable, and thriving world? In what other ways can you actively participate in important decision-making?
Katelyn Haas-Conrad 10/01/2024 11:17 AMVoting requires reflection on what issues matter to us as individuals and also requires research to understand which politicians support our values and interests. Voting helps me feel like I am being active in how I approach climate change. -
Debbie Steinberg 10/01/2024 6:49 AMExcited to challenge myself this month!-
Debbie Steinberg 10/01/2024 1:55 PMI've chosen a few actions that I've been meaning to do, but haven't made the time. I hope this challenge pushes me to do them! One that I think will be fun is "explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area."
How about you? -
Lauren Watkins 10/01/2024 1:06 PMMe too! Is there anything new you're trying that you're excited about?
