    Why is taking action on climate change important to you? Why do you care?

    There have been so many large scale climate events in the past few years (e.g.: massive wildfires, floods, heatwaves, etc) and that has really emphasized how urgent it is we address the causes of climate change before we see even more frequent and extreme climate events. This could potentially lead to rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and have negative effects on available food and water resources, and will (among many other things).

    I really enjoyed this eco challenge. I learned a lot. I have made some changes that I hope will help impact the environment.

    Beyond carbon sequestration, what other benefits do forests offer you personally?

    For me personally, forests improve my mental health. Something about running or walking through the forest for an hour calms me more than just about anything else. The clean air, the beautiful green landscape - what's not to love?!

      Besides mental health, spending time in the forest can improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and creativity. The pokedoku natural environment can also help to reduce distractions and promote focus.

    This challenge has been great for getting me back into some good habits that I had stopped practicing (e.g.: eating more veggies & reducing animal products in my diet) & gotten me to think more about small changes I can make in my daily routine...all the little changes add up!

    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    I now know that just because it says best by, it does not mean it is bad. Yogurt for example can be good weeks after the expiration date as long as it has not been opened.

    Reducing (or eliminating) exhaust emissions and improving public health are two benefits of green vehicles. What other motivators inspire you to consider switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle?

    How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

    Re-purposing older clothes and buying vintage clothes.
