DAILY ACTIONS
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?
Today, I donated 10 Femme Kits to Femme International, an Africa-based organization dedicated to menstrual health in young girls. Data and evidence has shown that providing such access increases young people’s ability to stay in school, further their education, reduce unwanted pregnancies, and enable healthier livelihoods.
I’m looking forward to experiencing EcoChallenge month with all you fine people. Here’s some pretty little spring ephemerals from a local old growth forest to get us all in the mood. Let’s do this!
