REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityIn what ways is social media an effective tool for sharing your values?
Chelsea Dunlap 7/19/2022 5:19 AMI think it reaches so many more people that I do in my normal daily life, and can be very attention grabbing if you do it the right way -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhat did you learn by making your own cleaning products? What is the biggest difference in making vs buying?
Chelsea Dunlap 7/11/2022 1:51 PMI've made some cleaning products before, but this time I made an almond oil wood cleaner and I learned that my homemade stuff ALWAYS smells even better than store bought! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
Chelsea Dunlap 7/11/2022 5:12 AMYes! I'm very lucky to live in a city that has banned plastic straws, so most restaurants either offer paper straws or only offer straws upon request. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFamilyHow can you and your little one exercise your creativity without creating more plastic waste?
Chelsea Dunlap 7/10/2022 4:49 AMOur favorite craft lately is nature projects where we find things in our yard that we can craft with. We've even made "confetti" out of dried leaves! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodBesides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?
Chelsea Dunlap 7/06/2022 5:24 AMI love watching our kids help us with starting out garden. They get so excited to check on it every day and help water it. It's a great way for us to spend time outside as a family!
