Participant Feed

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?

Laurel Fullerton 4/25/2019 4:50 PM

The challenge went great, but there was one action that I didn't get to do, and I wish I did it. Other than that though, I think it went pretty well.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Land Use Learn about Temperate Forests

As you learn more about the scope and seriousness of the environmental challenges we face, what impact does that have on your thinking and actions? What are the parts that feel overwhelming? What parts help you feel hopeful?

Laurel Fullerton 4/14/2019 9:49 AM

It makes me think more about how important the forests are for the earth and for our own well being, and that some people don't realize that or they just don't care. I think it's overwhelming how much of Earth's original forests have been destroyed for various reasons like agriculture and construction (the wood for building and just clearing areas for building sites). What makes me feel hopeful is that more and more people are becoming aware about the problems that our forests are facing and that more and more people are joining in the fight to save them, and we just have to hope that what we are doing is enough.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Watch a Video about Methane Digesters

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

Laurel Fullerton 4/07/2019 4:46 PM

My vision of a sustainable community is one with solar panels, micro wind windmills, and other objects that obtain energy through natural and sustainable means. There also would be methane (anaerobic) digesters.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Learn More about Micro Wind

Micro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?

Laurel Fullerton 4/07/2019 4:36 PM

They could be installed on top of stores located in outdoor and indoor malls, and in the downtown areas to help power lamps and signs.
