Thank you @Elisa ! 

I analyzed my persona and I am a "Green Guardian" , woohoo! 🎉 What does yours look like @Elisa ? 

I'd love to see your analysis as well   @Felicity11 @Jennifer3225 @Mila2394 @Patricia2526 @Naomi208 @Laurelle3 @Deirdre122 @Dr-Jayanthi1 @Laëtitia-Stephy0 @Jue0 @Lorina14 @Geoff7 @Till-and-Jutta0 @Kitty-and-Creek0 @Rose422 @Nash-Cottages-LLC0 !

I know @Felicity11 and @Geoff7 use EV chargers and many eco-friendly solutions so may be they might get "Eco-tech Guru" , haha! and may be @Kitty-and-Creek0 and @Naomi208 are grassroots greenies embracing community and eco-system based solutions, while having a closer relationship with nature 💚  Was I able to predict it right? 😉

It'd be interesting to hear from all of you!

[Laëtitia-Stephy0]

Merci @Bhumika et @Elisa,

Amusant ce 😊

Je me retrouve partagée entre la tendance minimaliste consciente et Eco planificateur , les deux me correspondent complètement.

La simplicité me semble une bonne base pour être un consommateur raisonnable qui respecte l'environnement et la nature.

J'essaie d'être attentif pour préserver les ressources et composter les restes alimentaires, tout particulièrement les épluchures de fruits et légumes et les dosettes de café et thé au quotidien.

Et toi ? 

[Google Translation]

Thanks @Bhumika and @Elisa,

Funny 😊

I find myself torn between the conscious minimalist and eco-planning trends; both are completely my style.

Simplicity seems like a good foundation for being a responsible consumer who respects the environment and nature.

I try to be mindful of conserving resources and composting food scraps, especially fruit and vegetable peelings and coffee and tea pods, every day.

And you?

[Bhumika]

@Laëtitia-Stephy0 , I hear you! 💚 

While I haven't been into composting greens, I try my best to reduce food waste by planning meals and balancing quantities (it has helped me so much and I've hardly ever had to throw out food!)  

I choose storing reusable bags and containers instead of single-use plastics ♻️ , also actively donating items I no longer use (added bonus : it also helps keep our home clutter free!)

I'd love to hear more from you—what motivated you to start composting and embracing minimalist habits?

[Elisa]

Hi @Bhumika 😊, 

Thank you for tagging me.

I’m a Conscious Minimalist, and I couldn’t agree more. 😁

Looking forward to hearing from our hosts!

@Bhumika

Practical EcoPlanner - Grassroots Greenie - Green Guardian - Conscious Minimalist with lots of stuff stored because we are both sentimental and self sufficient. 

Living off grid a long way from town, and with parents who went thru a world war/ rationing/ great depression that's just what happens. It is what we learned. We do things automatically and don’t keep track of things with apps. Everyone knows about plastic bottles, so if they use one we respect that there’s a legitimate reason. We do not use paper towels, paper plates or paper napkins. We pump our well water 500' up using solar, so we respect our water. All trash and recycling must be hauled to town to the dump, so we do our best to avoid accumulating things that must be dumped or recycled. Guests don't always get it, so we deal with what they leave. 

Our community is totally eco conscious. Did I mention that we are a Blue Zones community? 

Thanks for this game and for the tag! 

[Elisa]

Hi @Kitty-and-Creek0 😊, 

Thank you for participating here!

I appreciate how much you incorporate sustainability into your daily life, it's so important.

What is a Blue Zone community? I’ve never heard about it.

[Kitty-and-Creek0]

@Elisa 

Good question!

Blue Zones is an international project that tracks and studies  locations with the longest living people. It studies diet, lifestyle, etc. Since it is not uncommon to live to age 100 or longer here, and the 2nd oldest person in the world- oldest in the US - was a local, it became a no brainer for our town. Our beloved Edie passed last year at age 116. We have a number of Blue Zones certified restaurants here. Also noteworthy are walking, dancing and yoga groups that are doing Blue Zones work. A quick Search will turn up a plethora of information. 

[Elisa]

Hi @Kitty-and-Creek0 😊, 

Thank you for explaining that.

That’s really interesting! Is this project funded by the government or a private company?

[Kitty-and-Creek0]

@Elisa 

Not a government project !

[Lorina14]

@Bhumika 

Im a green guardian mostly! Yay! But I did have many that I could have chosen two answers too.

[Elisa]

Hi @Lorina14 😊, 

thank you for sharing this here!

Do you have many plants in your listing?

[Lorina14]

@Elisa 

I have an African violet and a peace lily in one and used to have a peace lily in the other but he doesn’t get a lot of light so I took him out. I have a lot of different plants bordering the walkways and in the garden.

I always provide fresh flowers for my guests either from my garden or the store.

[Elisa]

Hi @Lorina14 😊

That’s so kind of you to offer flowers to your guests.

How do you take care of your plants when you’re traveling?

That’s my biggest concern about starting to have them.

[Lorina14]

@Elisa 

 I ask a friend to water my indoor plants if I’m gone for longer than 3-5 days. It also depends if it is hot weather and the inside is hot.
