We hereby invite high school students from Massachusetts and elsewhere to propose their forward-thinking approaches about ways to make their schools more water-friendly, with a slight preference to be given for those from Massachusetts. Ideas might range from rainwater-harvesting, permeability of school grounds, designing/planting gardens, water conservation measures for school and community... Your ideas can take the form of a design, a presentation, and/or an app AND can rely on nature, technology, robotics, biomimicry or something else! APPLY

March is ripe with opportunities to recharge your energy and to take inventory on what you said you wanted to accomplish this year.

A simply exercise to check-in with yourself to see where you are at and where you want to go from here:

Write down three things that are working so far this year. Big or small, significant or note-worthy, these three things are what you want to continue doing, having, being because they make you feel productive/healthy/smart/successful/GOOD.

Then, write two things that you want to do better at. For example: Exercises you want to add to your routine, healthy foods you want to adopt into your diet so that you feel grounded and strong versus frazzled and nervous, connections you want to make with your peers but have been afraid to ask for.

What do you have to lose if you don’t make the choices to add these tasks, ideas, things to your day, to your life?

What do you stand to gain?

This month, take inventory. Grab a pen and piece of paper or get a journal that allows you to take inventory each day to see how much closer, or further, you are from living your very best life.

The time you take to check in with yourself is the most powerful first step in creating a road map of where YOU want to go.

Feel that power and proceed.
