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?

    This has been an important and interesting challenge for me; while I didn't complete all the daily actions , it made me more aware of the choices I make in daily life, to reduce and refuse plastics; and to tell other people about this.

    I realize we're nearing the end of the month, and I have not been doing specific daily challenges; however, I signed on to a letter written by Janet Asian and other members of the Saugerties Green team, to Adams Fairacre Farm. Mother Earth's Storehouse, and Pricechoppper in Saugerties.  I continue to be inspired and energized by the actions of Susan Murphy, Vivian Beatrice, Ana Bergen, Janet Asian, and other members of our team!

    buying unpackaged food is still a challenge at the  regular supermarkets. We just recently wrote to the local markets to reduce their packaging.

    I am looking forward to make my own face cream, but have not had the time yet. In the interim I use Olive oil or coconut oil to for my hair.

    A lot of the challenges i signed up for I follow everyday and  are integrated into my life style already. To go on line and check in everyday is a bit of a task.

    How can/did you prepare to be successful in this action? Did you engage in conversation with anyone about your new habit?

    My kids just traveled overseas and I encouraged them to pack light and take as little as possible.

    What is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?

    I like to travel light and it is easy to refill the travel containers.
