April 30 at 11:20 AMThere's a huge disconnect between people, their purchases, and what went into making the items we're purchasing. A lot of companies actively try to hide how badly their means of production hurt the environment, which makes it less likely for the average person to know about the environmental and social effects. I'm going to do my best to really...

April 30 at 11:17 AMI did some research into the proper way to recycle normal household items while I looked for ways to recycle items that can't go in the curbside bin and found out that my roommates and I had some work to do there, so I'm really glad I took the time to do some looking into this. I mainly looked into ways to recycle things like batteries,...

April 30 at 11:14 AMA lot of my self care is focused on doing the things for myself that I know must be done, like making sure I'm eating and drinking enough or getting enough sleep. That also includes trying to hold myself accountable for the goals I set for myself but also respecting my own body and energy.

April 30 at 11:13 AMThe meat industry is incredibly harmful to the environment, and the effects of it are predominantly forced onto communities of color and people in 'less developed' countries. It requires massive amounts of resources and large areas of land. The higher the consumption of meat is, the more the environment is harmed, and the effects of...

April 30 at 10:25 AMSpending time outdoors in a natural brain reset. Humans evolved connected to the natural world around us. Our brains were designed to work best surrounded by green and sunshine. Going outside and connecting with natures helps me let go of all the modern things that don't matter; resetting me to be able to get what I need to done.

April 30 at 10:19 AMI really enjoyed participating in this challenge. I learned about about how I can better support the environment and people around me. I will definitely continue thinking about what I can do on a daily basis to continue living more sustainable.

April 29 at 1:40 PMI am a compulsive email checker. I often check my email when I have a spare moment on my computer, I'm anxious about something else, or I have nothing to do. Rarely is there anything new and important. Stepping away from checking my email so much has helped me be less anxious and focus on things that actually matter.

April 29 at 5:34 AMA lack of nutrients can cause serious medical issues; for example, a lack of folate, which is found in meats, leafy greens, beans, etc, can lead to issues in brain development and nervous system functioning. In pregnant women, folate deficiencies can cause birth defects. Nutritious food should be a right, as it is a basic necessity for human...

April 29 at 5:28 AMIt's pretty easy to incorporate spending time in nature into an exercise routine. It could be as simple as doing some daily exercises outside, like stretching or yoga. In Burlington there are also a bunch of hiking and walking trails to get out into the forest.

April 28 at 5:19 PMTrying to have less screen time wasn't that difficult. Once I made it a goal it was easier for me to remember to do other things. I have a bunch of hobbies that aren't online. This helped me motivate myself to put my phone down and start one of those.
