Women and Girls Support Women-Owned Businesses

Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. How can you better support communities by supporting women? Can you share any past experiences that may help others take action?

Kayla Hurley 4/10/2019 1:39 PM

Through my research, I found this website: https://www.womenownedlogo.com/buy-women-owned-directory. It helps you search for woman-owned businesses near and far by categories such as health & wellness, home & office, etc. I can support women and their own businesses by telling their story as well as my personal story.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Materials Recycle Everything I Can

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "R's" make you feel?

Kayla Hurley 4/06/2019 11:39 AM

I would incorporate other "R's" into my lifestyle by, for example, using a variety of Tupperware to store food instead of using wasteful food storage made of plastic, styrofoam, etc. As a part of the FRN, I am against food waste already as it is. I will be happy to utilize resourceful Tupperware.

Kayla Hurley 4/05/2019 1:21 PM

I am not a materialistic person as it is, but I was not always this way. With age, and with experience, I am learning the difference between needs and wants. I live a fortunate life with the option of having both needs and wants, but some are not as fortunate.

Kayla Hurley 4/04/2019 4:06 PM

My home has a more negative than positive environmental impact. My home uses my about 86,169lbs of carbon per year. Among the numerous way I can turn this environmental impact from negative to positive, the top three are: 1) purchasing a programmable thermostat, 2) changing the cooling setting on my thermostat, and 3) upgrading whole cooling system to a new high efficiency heat pump.
