Salesforce - EarthMonth2021

Being outside more thoughtfully over this month has helped me feel more grounded.

I am challenging more people in my community to walk, bike, eat sustainably and convert their electricity.

Surprisingly,  we discovered that our footprint is much better than we expected.  There is definitely room to do more.   

We live in a beautiful neighborhood, one that is designed to enjoy activities such as walking etc, with lots of trails.  However, what disappoints me is the amount of trash I find along the way.   Would like to see ideas on how to educate residents of my community to be more mindful of their trash.  None of this is intentional, it usually is...

Compost is a great fertilizer.  Composting also reduces waste going to landfill.  Several good home composting solutions are available through online retailers - and for those wondering - these solutions are odor free!

A great tip I learnt - Dont blindly swallow half chewed food.  pay attention to chewing every morsel in your mouth.  This increases digestion, and makes you feel fuller faster.  Added benefit - helps lose weight!! 

Broccoli stalks make for a great smoothie ingredient.   

Fresh food and less waste, when we buy food from grocery stores or markets it includes lots of packaging(mostly plastic), when we buy directly from local vendors we can directly buy from them and just carry in our cloth bags which is less waste, it is also cost-effective as it doesn't include all production and packaging costs. 

It is a beautiful day for a walk today! 

Happy to see that I am already practicing many of the daily actions!
