REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Choose Two-Sided PrintingChoosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?
Camille Piccone 4/30/2021 10:31 AMI chose this action because I see the paper waste in offices and it is over the top. Hundreds of sheets of papers are thrown in the trash every week and double sided printing saves paper waste and money. Being conscious of this keeps me aware to save in any way that I can. This challenge went well. I have been doing it off and on or whenever possible, but now I will continue to print two-sided more often.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Plant an Herb GardenConsider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
Camille Piccone 4/27/2021 7:00 AMI have tried and did all of the above. Having a large property allowed me to actually create a permaculture garden. This will change this summer, as we are downsizing, so patio containers is the way I will go. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Camille Piccone 4/27/2021 6:58 AMWalking [my dog] is a great way to see your neighbors and meet new ones. Dog walkers have a special connection and the majority of the neighbors that I have met were in that way. I try to walk everyday that the weather is cooperating. -

Camille Piccone 4/21/2021 7:34 AMHi everyone. For my eco challenges I chose from three categories: food, nature, and waste. Under food I plan and actually have already started an herb garden. Fresh herbs are the best. For nature, a 30 minute (at least) daily walk is on my agenda. I currently try to do this, but this challenge will motivate me to do it everyday. And lastly, waste. Since I work in an office in a school, we print a lot and use a lot of paper. I will pledge to print double sided as often as possible to save on paper.
