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?

What was one of your most memorable volunteer experiences, and why? What would you like to volunteer for next, and why?

A group of us volunteered at the Sandcastle competition. It was a lot of fun and hard work moving buckets of water from the ocean to the beach where the students were building their structures.
My family has already signed up for the beach cleanup in June because it's a great opportunity to help out.

What did you watch, and what was the most important thing you learned in the documentaries you watched? How does what you learned connect to your understanding of climate change and Earth Month?

I watched "The Hands That Feed You" and it was sad to hear the stories of the farmers who weren't protected from pesticides and the illnesses they are facing now. I'm glad there are regulations in place now and that farmers are also growing organic foods.

Tip of the Day: Plastic seems to have found its way into every single aspect of our lives. However, giving it up isn’t as difficult as you might think – bring a canvas bag with you when you go shopping, buy your fruit and veg loose and stop buying bottled water.
