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?
Team- We are closing out the week. We have grown to 29 people and at one point, we were in 31st place! We have made a slight dip back to 34th place. Keep checking in on your actions every day or every few days. Every person counts! Keep sharing, keep making small actions, and keep checking in! We can't wait to see what the impact looks like at the end! Happy Friday, team!
Team- I am so excited to be on this journey with you. Thanks for supporting IU Health's sustainability journey and for taking small steps to make big differences. As of this second, we are in 34th place! For a new, up and coming team, that is actually great! Let's keep sharing and get that higher! If you want "credit" for recruitment, I think you can make your own QR code and send links out from here as well.
So tell me... What are your wins? Why did you join?
I will share a win from the philanthropy team. We launched our green team last week (I see you Melissa, Lindsay, Karissax2 and Janell)! We decided to take a few actions into our own hands when it came to reusables and recycling while also looking to support local sustainability movements.
Thanks to everyone for sharing with your teams. We are grateful for you! .
