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?
In order to save time, energy, water etc. I sort out laundry based on how the washing/drying cycle should be and wash the loads only when full to avoid wastage. I have an XL machine. I don't go with white, blacks and colors and this has worked for me very well in terms of achieving the cleanliness I need by keeping the durability and appearance.
Its birthday month in the family, we reuse the gift bags given to us and buy reusable cloth bags as goodie bags. It does take some effort and closet space, but it's worth it.
The amount of paper that a household with young kids uses is crazy and unavoidable most of the times. We use one sided print outs for kids' artwork. We make the effort to convince kids to reduce paper use and hopefully will make them responsible, sustainable citizens in the future.
It’s a tricky calculation, right?! You want to encourage creativity and have paper for art and craft projects. Just do it. But of course at least consider when and how you use paper, and use other natural bits when you can or instead. We don’t want our kids only creating digital artwork. They need to connect with and be in nature. Like Circles in the Sand in Oregon.
I have been making donating lightly used clothes in good shape to goodwill or known people and recycling the others at H&M. H &M make cloth bags out of recycled clothing. You get a 15% off coupon if you recycle your clothing at H&M as added bonus. Make impacts to the society one step at a time or one thing a day.
