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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Share My ActionsIn what ways is social media an effective tool for sharing your values?
Diane Ferguson 7/17/2019 7:06 AMI straight up said in my post about this challenge that I was signaling my virtue to my friends. :) Also, people are more likely to take actions when they know others in their circle are doing the same thing. For example, I was inspired to join this challenge by the posts of a friend of mine. Belonging to a group of colleagues also made me feel more comfortable about doing it--I wouldn't have done it on my own.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusables at WorkIt is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?

When I bring breakfast into the office for my group, I can set it up using reusable dishes and cutlery from our kitchen. For community events such as a neighborhood cookout, I can bring some reusable containers for leftovers.
