    We have been Challenged!!! I woke to find our team has been challenged by Planttrees! So exciting. They are a high-ranking team! We have more points, but remember the team standings are based on participation. So EVERY check in counts. Let's do this! Game on.

    Last week South Florida experienced the worst flooding (20 plus inches) in 24 hour window that it has ever seen. Massive flooding and large-scale property damage occurred. It showed us all how when it comes to nature we have little control. However, after the event blooms and flowering proceeded and the pollinators were thrilled. It made me appreciate nature and its delicate balance all the more. (pic of my yard and bee and a fly (also a pollinator))

    I just wanted to share that I am so impressed with all the effort and drive our team has to learn more about sustainability and how we can make an impact. Great job! We have 12 days left in our Ecochallenge. Make evey day count, and if you forget to check in (as I did on a Saturday) you can go back to that day to record your activities/check in.

    Why is art an important way for you to express sustainability values?

    Elizabeth Malmstrom's avatar
    Elizabeth Malmstrom 4/17/2023 11:21 AM
    I believe ART is a valuable tool to reflect sustainability values as it can beautifully reflect our love of nature and our commitment to respect it. It can also show the power of nature (i.e. photos of a hurricane or storm event) thus humbling us and giving us better appreciation for it.

    What was the most interesting thing you learned from analyzing your utility bill? What are some ways you can save energy and water?

    I was surprised of how just moderating a few actions (shorter showers, and less laundry loads) can make an impact. I used to be a bit of a water hog. Now I rethink how I use my water and how precious a commodity it is.
