Ruchi MehrotraDutta 4/17/2022 8:52 PMI'm really enjoying learning new things about Sustainable products. I'm also loving being involved in promoting greener Earth and planting seedlings. I've over the last week planted around 10 plants. 4 Hibiscus, 3 Roses and 3 Summer shrubs called Kochia. I'm all for more greenery, lesser climate damage and more Oxygen. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth & EquityWhy is equity for gender diverse individuals important for a just and sustainable society?
Ruchi MehrotraDutta 4/15/2022 12:18 AMEquality for gender diverse individuals becomes important just for the simple fact, no man or woman should get left behind. We are all equals. We each have 2 eyes, ears, hands, legs. If God made us equal, who are we to distinguish. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & CommunitiesHow might you be able to get others involved in advocating for the clean energy shift?
Ruchi MehrotraDutta 4/15/2022 12:16 AMStart a campaign in my local area to get people to start using sustainable energy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsWhat area of climate action are you most passionate about and why?
Ruchi MehrotraDutta 4/11/2022 8:54 PMDeforestation. The reason for the climate change is because the trees are being cut everywhere. Every city needs to have demarcated green areas which are preserved. Otherwise we are looking at the planet becoming a desert.-
Angela Bohl 4/21/2022 12:51 PMYes, preservation and reforestation are critical! Have you heard about the work the non-profit organization TreeSisters is doing to replant trees? The Shift Network is partnering with them right now in a campaign to plant 1,000,000 trees. Check out the campaign and TreeSister's' efforts on deforestation at https://treesisters.org/fundraisers/the-shift-music-festival-visionaries-summit.

Ruchi MehrotraDutta 4/11/2022 8:48 PMNot these lists exactly, but because Summer has already hit hard here, i try to have salads and fruits. Watermelon / cantaloupe for breakfast and oranges through the day for sure. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsWhy is art an important way for you to express sustainability values?
Ruchi MehrotraDutta 4/11/2022 8:45 PMI love pottering in my garden . Today I added fertilizer to my lemon and Pomegranate trees. The most beautiful art is when the flowers bloom . And the biggest appreciation is when I see nature in its vivid colours. I'm adding some pictures from my garden. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & CommunitiesHow can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place? Was there a new place in your region that was exciting to learn about and visit?
