Firstly, I don't have a vehicle, so I tested riding my friend's electric bike during the weekend, and it worked amazingly but just a little bit cold on the downside.

Action Track: Building Resilience
Shower Once/Day
I noticed that most people around me shower twice a day(morning and evening), and some of them even shower multiple times if they work out or just to feel like it during the day. I was wondering if we could possibly reduce the time of unnecessary showing down to once a day. What would this action change us both mentally and physically?

Test Drive an Electric Bike
Electric Bicycles
I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

Mason Brown 11/08/2022 1:53 PMI hope to someday be at that level, it takes a lot of forethought not to eat with a distraction. One day I was eating and saying to myself "wow I'm eating without a distraction" and then two minutes later I realized music counts as eating with a distraction. -

Private vehicles account for 60% of trips of a mile or less. Do you often drive short distances instead of biking or walking? If so, how might incorporating an electric bike into your lifestyle help you make more climate-friendly choices?
