REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeDo you live in an area that is water secure or with water scarcity? What other actions do you take to use water more efficiently?
Maegan Halica 4/30/2025 4:41 AMI have been mindful of the amount of water I have been using while I wash dishes. With not having a dishwasher (and liking it that way), I find that I have more opportunities to do so. -

Composting is something I have wanted to start for a while after moving to a new home. This has kickstarted learning and starting the process! -

What a great activity this has been! It has been a check-in reminder that there are many small changes that we can make or continue that in turn can make a big impact. -

Getting back into replacing screen time with outdoor activities on longer sunny days has been incredibly uplifting! This is a great way to kickstart those healthy habits that have been harder in the winter months.-

Love that - I often think of screentime as just my phone (which is a lot!), but also the 8hr a day at work. This is a great reminder to get outdoors, especially on the trails near my house :)
