DAILY ACTIONS
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
Going to try and track my wasted food. I've always wanted to do this and see if it would make sense to start composting. Might be a harder challenge getting my roommates on board! I also want to explore carbon offset credits as I have 4 plane trips in the next month alone.
