Mainehealth

I adore Cypripedium acaule (lady slippers) and Trillium erectum (red trillium). Biodiversity not only makes our lives richer but also keeps all of us, not just humans, healthier. We need to protect and support wildlife to mediate the impacts of development and sprawl.

I've learning that taking a few minutes to meditate - even if it's literally only a 2 minute-long session focusing on my breaths - calms and refreshes me when I am feeling overwhelmed.

Important to mix and mingle older clothing items to create a new look as oppposed to buying new

I was surprised by some staff not wanting to use real utensils and wash them accordingly. We have succeeded to stop buying plastic utensils and have a staff member working on a recycling bin.

What a really cool event! I am really glad Mainehealth was able to create a team and participate! I feel inspired to take new approaches in my life moving forward to live more sustainably! Can't wait until next year!

Last day of the EcoChallenge! 🌿 Let’s finish strong and carry these green habits into everyday life—our planet will thank us. 💚

lots of great routines added to my life this month, so glad I did the ecochallenge!

I 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!

It has been so nice to see the buds appear on the trees this week! Keeps me motivated to spend more time in the gardens and watch it all flourish.
