    I enjoy volunteering in a way that gives back to the community because I like that it makes me feel connected to those that live near me (as opposed to volunteering far away from the place I call home)
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?

    I take short showers and will aim to be better at efficiently using water elsewhere, like watering my house plants.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Basic Needs & Security
    How did you incorporate using an entire vegetable (skins, peels, tops, and stalks) during one of your meal preps? What's something new you're going to try that is a zero-waste meal practice?

    I used the vegetable peels/tops/stalks to make a broth and then composted the scraps after.

    Water insecurity impacts the drinking water for both people and the animals/plants. It will impact my access to clean drinking water most likely in my lifetime, and growing up in Florida it was something observed in having an assigned schedule for household lawn/garden maintenance.

    Samantha Robinson 4/30/2022 8:00 PM
    A first step is to try to upcycle things or swap items not needed by myself with others I know.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Locally sourced foods are better for sustainability but are not always accessible in some communities/food deserts.
