    There are so many resources now to find women owned businesses. It only takes a few minutes to find what stores and restaurants are woman owned. I was surprised to find that many of the women owned businesses that I found, did in fact have a focus on giving back to their communities or donating a portion of their profits to environmental...

    For me, one of the biggest concerns is single use plastics. Petroleum based plastics require fossil fuels to make, never fully return to their natural components, create a lot of greenhouse emissions as they breakdown, and are causing devastating harm to our river and ocean ecosystems. Locally we can work to cleanup our neighborhoods and...

    I’ve really like this EcoChallenge so far. I’ve learned a lot about different types of renewable energies, how supporting women’s education helps the environment, and tried my first electric bike. There’s still so much we can be doing to help the environment, but it’s good to see people taking baby steps  in the right direction.

    I’ve really enjoyed just getting outside, stretching my legs, and getting a little additional exercise. Things that I’ve noticed that make walking more enjoyable: areas with street lights for walking at night, parks with trees or nice landscaping, sidewalks or streets with a large shoulder. Things that make walking less enjoyable: dodging...

    Better walking infrastructure allows safer and easier transportation by foot. It gives citizens the opportunity to get more exercise, run errands without a car, and enjoy time with their neighbors outdoors. In densely populated areas, owning a car can be expensive due to parking expenses. In lower income areas, many people do not have cars. In...

    Keep track of food waste as been very insightful for me. I realized that the majority of my food waste either comes from letting left overs or produce go bad in the fridge or from restaurants over serving food. I usually get to-go boxes, but things like French fries just aren’t worth taking home. I definitely will be more conscience about...

    Walking and biking definitely create the best sense of community. It’s creates an opportunity to say hi to your neighbors while walking your dog or see areas of your neighborhood that need some extra attention. Public transport has some element of community, but in general most people keep to themselves on the bus. Driving really doesn’t have...

    A feel that clean, safe spaces create a better since of community. There is something to be said for everyone working together to care for their neighborhood and park. I think projects that better environmental quality such as planting trees in a park, cleaning up trash in our neighborhoods or volunteering at a community garden are another...

    For me a sustainable community is one where people look at their daily activities and see what kind of small changes they can make. For example, using your own coffee mug, carrying your own water bottle, and stores not selling products in single use plastics. I also think a sustainable community is one where elected officials make alternative...

    Went on my daily walk today as the result of leaving my keys at work and having to walk home from the Park & Ride. Luckily I can take forested hiking trails most of the way home. It did get me thinking about how else I might be able to get to and from the Park & Ride. The walk took about 45 minutes, but I could take a connecting bus or...
