REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & LivelihoodHow do you create new sustainability-related habits or change bad habits?
Wendy Whelan 4/12/2022 2:05 PMI’ve found that the best habits were the ones I picked up during ecochallenge’s plastic-free July. I’ve been bringing a large insulated cup with coffee to work and then filling it with iced water in the cafeteria. I’ve seen a few students do the same, and faculty have told me they’d never thought to do it! I never need to go to the vending machine anymore or buy bottled water for work. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat was the tastiest meatless or vegan meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?
Wendy Whelan 4/12/2022 2:02 PMI made a pesto out of the tops of my homegrown carrots and garden mint. My spouse and I were astounded by the fresh flavor!
