Cassie Sirockman-Bell 3/18/2019 6:15 AMFor the Eco Challenge and Lent, I gave up social media. It has been difficult and I have missed some news in my family/friends' lives, however, I have been present in my daily life, happier and more appreciative of the world around me.
What have you done to simplify your life during this challenge? -
Cassie Sirockman-Bell 3/13/2019 2:38 PMWhat did you do today that was green?! Did you recycle? Reuse items? Tell someone how they can help?-
Lucy de Barbaro 3/14/2019 4:33 AMPlease also consider energy use reductions we can make in our homes... these result directly in reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and therefore reduce our impact on climate. For example: https://www.duquesnelight.com/docs/default-source/wattchoice/66047-condello-duq-light-energy-efficiency_pdf_v3.pdf or deeper energy reductions like these: https://getenergysmarter.org/sound-home-plan
