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?
Enough Broken bottles and rusted pieces of glass Crumpled up newspaper lost in the grass Flooding concrete plaguing our trees Can this be the environment that goes on around me?
Toxins and insecticides splashed onto our food
oceans filling with black grim oil Sea life headed doe fatal doom This is what we are to consume?
Mills bleeding out iron casting out fumes Airlines leaking destructive gases Weapons of devastation tested at isolated sites And this is the air that sustains life?
Is there something we can do Maybe raise awareness to those closes to you
Eating a more plant-based diet reduces the greenhouse gas emissions and water expenditure of industrialized agriculture. We can all benefit from eating more plants.
It was a perfect day to go for a hike so I picked up my little brothers and headed to Fontana. We found an amazing trail to hike with a small waterfall. Water was freezing but after the hour hike it was a nice way to cool down.
