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?

Thanks for these challenges. As someone at their 78th year, there's plenty still to do. Oh, and I found an organic fair trade clothing option. Yes.

I was really challenged by the grateful activity, but I was able to turn my head away from all the awful news and think about and write to those who make me grateful. Yay. And I really did stop driving my car on certain days, walking to where I needed to go. So far 2 days/week. I'm setting a goal of 3 days for the near future using the Smart Train which is 5 minutes from my place. Wish it went more places I need to go.

One of the most enjoyable plus ecological activities I do is work our local apple press. People bring apples from their trees, neighbors or purchase and can press for free. We also did 10 schools this year and every child went back to school with a quart jug of freshly pressed apple juice. The pomace is picked up by local farmers or individuals and taken to their animals or compost piles. A great activity!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Drive Less

How has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

Pamela Letourneau 10/09/2019 8:10 AM

Working on this. Just signed a petition for transit to the parks- great idea to get some of us who don't wish to drive to a park an option. Taking the Smart Train to SF to shop at the farmers market in a couple of weeks. Quite an endeavor since I live in Sonoma County. Wonder when the Larkspur connection will be ready for the ferry! Have to check it out.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Support Resilient Powergrids

What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for that vision to become reality?

Pamela Letourneau 10/09/2019 7:47 AM

As we enter a power shutdown in Sonoma County, this challenge is especially timely. We need to get moving in CA to a more sustainable power grid. There is too much control of our power from one company.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Happiness

How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

Pamela Letourneau 10/09/2019 7:44 AM

In the digital world full of all the terrible things happening to people and the planet, by taking control of my own mind I can begin to see how many things daily are worthy of gratitude. It doesn't mean to ignore what's going on, but it gives some personal reflection on the amount of wonderful things people are doing every day to make each other's lives better.
