    I wish the program was longer, so the information and training tools became
    a habit. Otherwise, I will do it again.

    It causes me to walk the walk, which we anyone should do who professes actions. I feel good about knowing it will help me and the planet, especially when it doesn't take long to do!

    Reading the articles helped reinforce some behaviors that I already do and gave me some new ones that I tried out. Doing something every day is what makes a difference and learning something new helps keep me motivated to carry on when the news gets tough.

    Nature
    Is climate anxiety a new concept for you or something you have been following for some time?

    I’ve been aware of it as a concept for a few years now, but have experienced it longer than that. I’m terrified for our planet basically. When I came across it, I decided to incorporate a therapy session into the teen program I had at the time. We literally sat in a circle and I would use a prompt from my list if needed to create discussion. It was eye opening to think some may have spent their entire lives in a state of anxiety over climate change.

    How can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?

    Fix leaky faucets (less waste), install low-flow faucets and showerheads, take shorter showers, turn off water (while brushing your teeth), and run full loads of laundry.

    Today is National Hermit Day. This day encourages a temporary retreat to embrace that isolating instinct for mental and emotional renewal.

    Health
    How are war and conflict connected to environmental degradation and displacement? What role do justice and peace play in building a sustainable future?

    I came across this article which should’ve been a link in the Learn More tab for the specific action. A number of issues listed were expected to see but my impression came from the shear number of them. It’s a long list! Yet one more reason to keep the peace.

    Fixing leaky faucets is one of the tasks that we can easily put off until later. Good job on completing this action! How will you use the momentum from completing this action to increase your water efficiency in other ways?

    I got my brother-in-law to help me (well, I supervised). I will be more conscientious about making sure there are no leaky faucets (or toilets), and if I see/hear it, get it repaired quickly.
