REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

How might impact investing help you better live your values?

Our values and morals should dictate our behaviors and that includes how we spend and invest our money. Our money should go towards companies who hold values that are aligned with ours wherever that is possible.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water

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

My household can prepare for challenging water situations by conserving water, fixing leaks quickly, collecting rainwater for outdoor use and keeping small emergency water supply. These small steps can make my household more resilient and better prepared for future water shortages.

Hello teammates:
We did it. Truthful, I checked in late some of days, but I did not give up. Take a look at what you have given up on and re-think it. Yes, life can be hard, busy and down right over whelming! It can also have many changes that make you a better person, friend, coworker, parent, family member. Let's stay positive and continue to do your best. Only you know when you are giving your best effort.

Every time I put in the effort, I can count it as successful. I found out that little wins turn into great results. Also, that sharing information is how the word of caring is spread. Not all people join in a project like this, not all people are willing to read, research and become aware of their behavior but as we continue to inform others, we all grow together! Enjoy this lovely fall season and keep up all the new habits from this challenge!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

How can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Lenora Andrews 10/31/2025 5:07 AM
- Earth Advocate 📣
Although I don't consider myself an impulse buyer, I need to give more thought to purchasing decisions. When purchasing food, I need to focus on not only buying good quality food, but only shopping for what I need to prevent waste. I need to donate more clothing that I know I will never where again, even it is new. Any other purchasing, I need to consider carefully whether I need the item or not; and, I should always plan for items that I want.

  Trust me I understand, you said it all. I only want to add one thing. Do not shop for food hungry. You will buy more than you need. OH WAIT, that is me!

  Holly, you are so right, shopping hungry is a BIG mistake. I try to avoid this at all costs.

The People's EcoChallenge is a great way to check in on ourselves (and our personal choices), to frame where we're at and reframe where we want to be. I was encouraged by decisions I'm already making but also reminded (and learned) about some decisions I could begin making to further sustainability initiatives.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water

What surprised you most about your water footprint, and how did it influence your perspective on water use? What changes can you make to reduce your water consumption, and how will these impact your daily routine?
Amanda Moore 10/30/2025 1:18 PM
Water footprint measures the amount of water used to produce each of the goods and services we use. I love to travel and typically enjoy my long showers so, I wasn't surprised by my current carbon footprint. Learning more about it helped me to make some needed changes. I shortened shower time, eliminated bottle water usage (opting for an at home filter), and know these choices will help improve my daily routine.
