My Earth Day extended into my weekend - I spent Friday enjoying nature (even though I was working!). Saturday I spent volunteering at the Earth Day event in town. I was out in the sunshine for 4 hours and then went home and planted my garden! It was a perfect day. Sunday I spent with friends and then back out finishing up garden planting. I...

Happy Earth Day!!! This is what I have been looking forward to all month! I am in a separate challenge and we are working to upcycle 3 items today! I've also hugged a tree and used a completely plastic-free shower & face care routine this morning! I cannot wait to see what else today brings.

I cannot believe that we are almost halfway through Earth Month!! I have learned so much this month about my choices, my actions, and how I can better support the earth! On top of the eco challenge options, I am also partaking in an online challenge through instagram and I am so happy to have made even a small difference.

These SDG's made me incredibly sad - I want to be able to help everyone affected. But, having compassion for other people on Earth can lead to action. I hope that other people read through these and see that women, children, and the people from poor countries need our help. I want to see ways to participate and make a difference on these rather...

I'm volunteering with my city's Earth Day campaign & fundraising event on April 23rd! I will be a "rubbish wrangler" but it's going to be such a fun away to get involved and ensure the success of the event. I also love to volunteer with the River Compact to clean up trash along the river banks!

I've planned a mini-staycation. We will be staying home in Nashville, but experiencing the city. There's so much to do here that I just haven't done yet! I even found a walking tour to learn about the ghosts of the city. Plus a walk through a plantation home where we can bring our own picnic lunch!

This was so impactful. I live in the South (American South) and I have seen more struggles in the workplace here than anywhere else. Women are afraid to speak up because of the inherent "male-centric" view here. I don't know if it is because of the old-school ideals/traditions, but I have personally felt oppressed in my roles in my...

These were all very interconnected! Without a safe, sustainable, and resilient place to live kids cannot go to school. Without schooling, people are less likely to grow into a successful career.

I got to learn a bit about transportation and renewable energy. We need to rely more on renewable energy plus we need more options for public transportation instead of individualized single transport.

I can't wait to begin using the morningstar sustainability rating on all of my current investments! I would love to invest more and see what else I can do to invest ethically and sustainably!
