      Great action! Reduces not only CO2/other emissions and congestion but can be also fun- of course  depending on who shares the ride 😊

    One of my favorite features in this challenge is the “high five” on posts.  I have learned so many practical sustainability tips from reading them!  Thank you Team SE&SE!

    One of my favorite challenges is the Health / Happiness tracker action.  It helps me stay mindful about the good things that happen each day.  Challenge Tip Day 2:  Did you know that you can earn +15 points if you post a profile picture?

    What's my secret to driving less?  I bundle my errands by location (close to my regular daily route) and make all my stops on the way home from work!
