Faith Sicklick 10/31/2024 4:13 PMBefore I joined this challenge, I thought I was doing enough, recycling, changing to a lawn garden, working remotely, reducing electricity usage to prevent neighborhood power outages, etc. Now I realize that there are so many different categories of other eco areas that I had not considered. Umpqua Bank has helped me to think more about the community as a whole.-
Toby Sota 10/31/2024 7:37 PMI was surprised when I calculated my eco footprint and found out how big of an impact some of my choices are!

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Watch a Documentary about Food SovereigntyHow does food sovereignty address the complex transition from localized food systems to modern global food systems?
-
Savannah Jennings 10/31/2024 3:07 PMI loved watching that documentary! I remember how it motivated me a lot when I watched it my freshman year of high school right after I went vegan. It made me really open my eyes to how we get our food/ how it impacts our bodies and also the planet. Great recommendation!

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Support Businesses Owned by People of ColorA recent Keen Independent Research Foundation study found that Minority Businesses Enterprises (MBEs) are more likely to have difficulties in receiving loans or city contracts. In what ways can you work to address systemic racism like that demonstrated in this study?
Jordan Bowen 10/31/2024 2:00 PMI love to use Kiva to make micro loans to entrepreneurs that are historically underestimated.-
Janet Beach Davis 10/31/2024 2:13 PMI love Kiva! I have a few rolling loans going all the time.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Jordan Bowen 10/31/2024 1:56 PMMy kids also love to be active so I try to do my exercise with them. We had a cool opportunity to go kick the ball around Providence Park last summer and they keep asking to go back. So hard to explain that we don't get to go to a professional soccer field whenever we want!-
Toby Sota 10/31/2024 7:52 PMI’ve spent this month taking a walk with my neighbor every month! She knows everyone in the neighborhood, so it’s also helped me in my “meet my neighbors” goal.
