How might you be able to get others involved in advocating for the shift to clean energy?

I have been telling my friends and family, who use the same provider, how easy it is to switch.

I found setting an alarm on my phone is the best way to remind myself to check in on the weekends. I recommend this if you're forgetful on weekends like me ;)

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

What have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?
Jade Menchaca 10/14/2020 11:30 AM
I spend a lot of money at restaurants. I don't feel like I need to make shifts in how much I spend because eating out makes me happy. However, I can definitely be more conscious about where I'm eating and opt for sustainable, small, and/or BIPOC-owned.

I never realized how important it was to shut down your laptop each night. It is such a simple task with a huge impact! This is definitely a habit I will carry on after the EcoChallenge.

I think we should spend this week learning more about indigenous cultures and how they relate to and are integrated in the environmental movement. Everyday should be Indigenous People's Day!!
