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?
My husband and I are currently covering our front yard with native trees & have already seen so many butterflies! Native trees shown are two Bay Cedars & a Sea Lavender.
I was interested in this challenge because I already try to be conscious about single use plastic and other environmental issues. So I love that this site is here to keep me accountable.
