Gloria Stauff 4/23/2025 11:44 AMThe biggest challenge of the ecochallenge has been checking in each day. Like many things, it's about making it a habit. That said, I have been more mindful and taken more action to change my way of doing things. The challenge has helped to reframe some of my habits and mindsets and I plan to continue making progress after the challenge ends.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONIn Our CommunitiesDid procuring local ingredients impact the way you think about food or the meals you decided to prepare? If so, how?
Gloria Stauff 4/09/2025 9:56 AMYes, it made me appreciate the efforts people put into growing food and supplying organic and healthy options to me. I think more about my food as something more than just satisfying hunger. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt WorkHow does eating more meat affect our planet and other people? What is your favorite meatless dish or recipe?
Gloria Stauff 4/09/2025 9:51 AMMy favorite meatless dish is gnocchi with swiss chard, onion, mozzarella cheese, garlic and tomatoes cooked in a vegetable broth. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeHow is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Gloria Stauff 4/09/2025 9:48 AMSometimes you have to find multiple uses for something that may, at first sight have only one use. It may help prevent purchasing something additional. For example, instead of buying drapes for my bedroom I used flat sheets that I already had in my linen closet. They worked beautifully. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeWhat other steps can you take each day to heat and cool your home more efficiently?
