    I’m glad I participated again this year; I learn a lot and develop some good habits. I hope other participants are left with same good feels I am 😊

    I’ll be honest though - I look forward to slightly longer showers from time to time 😉 That daily challenge of was tough at times!

    I participated in the Out of the Darkness walk today; what an incredibly moving event. It gave me a lot of hope to see so many involved.

    Another gorgeous spring day! I just love the smell of fresh cut grass and dogwood trees. The pollen is pretty intense but that’ll pass pretty quickly. Nice weather to end the week 😎

    After learning more about investing, how can you increase positive impacts and decrease negative impacts?

    Ethical investing is much easier nowadays than it was even a few years ago. Our financial advisor walked us through the process of ensuring that none of our investments were in companies that didn’t align with our values, both here and abroad. As more people embrace ethical investing, the impact will undoubtedly be good for our environment.

    For some time now we have been limiting our showers to under 5 minutes whenever possible. We also use rain water to water our plants as much as possible.

    What was your experience like plogging, or engaging in another way to collect litter while being outside? Was there any item you collected that was unusual that you found?

    I usually engage with neighbors while collecting litter. I can not say that I have come across anything very unusual.

    I have always used mass transit where it was available. I wish we had more opportunities in our area to use other modes of transportation other than driving.

    I always feel very energized when I am able to spend time outside. I feel like I am solar powered.

    We always donate food to the food pantry and also to our hub here on campus. I am just happy to be able to share our good fortune.

    I am always looking for ways to clean up the area around my neighborhood and always always have a bag in car in case I am able to pick up recyclables.
