Sara's actions
Industry
Recycle Everything I Can
Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.
Transportation
Homecoming commute challenge!
KEEN is encouraging staff to return to House PDX 2 days per week starting 10-10-23. I will either make my commute a "multi-function" (not just a commute) car trip or use public transit.
Land Sinks
My Wild Home
I will work my own land to encourage native plant & animal success, allow safe human access & woodland living.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Smaller Portions
Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
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?

Sara Bowersox 10/25/2023 3:59 PMOur neighborhood potluck had "pig & chicken" bins ready for food scraps. We also encouraged folks to take extra food home - in reusable containers (byo encouraged). We used real dishes, tableware and cloth napkins. Folks volunteered to wash dishes and launder napkins after the event. -
