reflections & words of inspiration
"Being intention with my eco-goals has been so helpful in creating positive habits!"
"The ecochallenge has been a useful way to visualize how my small set of commitments really aggregate into an impactful and meaningful outcome. Being able to see the amount of disposable drink containers I saved during this short period I have been tracking really made me aware of the importance of ALWAYS brining my reusable bottle with me. All of the other actions I participated in also brought more awareness into different aspects of my daily life. I know that I will take these insights into my habits and perceptions and try to act in a more mindful way going forward. I look forward to participating again and refreshing my attention with this thought provoking exercise."
"When shopping for sustainable and eco-friendly clothing at a new shop, I talked to the owner about 1% and how it works!"
"I took the Intersectional Environmentalist Pledge today! I encourage others to check it out as we are stronger together in this movement."
"Strengthening our communication skills is an endeavor that improves all aspects of our interpersonal lives. Taking time to reflect on this topic and using any insights you have afterward to change how you communicate is foundational to making yourself and others feel understood. I am glad this is the first challenge I undertook."
"I am excited to start the Ecochallenge, learn new things, connect with others and measure our progress! 🌏"
"Like most people, I have good intentions. However, when it comes to making good choices for our environment, I often times fall short. I'm excited to use this challenge to learn more and to create new healthy habits!"
"Chatting with my colleagues about this challenge yesterday, I loved learning how it’s inspiring them to connect with nature, their personal health and learn more about sustainable practices. We spoke about how all the little things add up, and feel good. 💚"
