Go ahead and say hi with a gif to the community! If you’re not super into sustainability or business, thats okay. Tell your friends who are into sustainability, business, or both, have them join us on Skool. That way we can have conversations that will liven up this community!

Hey guys, if you want to talk and come up with new innovative ideas, you’re in the right place. But if you ever need a break to just want to chill and learn, there’s entertaining and educational OCEC content on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram @ocecoclub. Check it out!

I work at a nursery and people ask me all day long "What's wrong with my plant?!" Here are some tips that can help with the most frequent problems I see. 1) Know what plant you're dealing with. Look up the plants scientific name (the botanical genus and species) so you know exactly how to take care of it. This will allow you to properly execute on the next three tips. 2) Stop over and under watering your plants. 99.9% of plants suffer and die from incorrect watering. 3) Feed your plants. Yes, plants need food just like humans. If the plant is low on nutrients in its pot or soil, you will probably have to feed it with organic matter and/or fertilizer (preferably organic). You'll see three numbers on a bag of fertilizer like this: 2-4-2. The first number is N, second P, third is K. Here is what they mean: N (Nitrogen)- Helps with new green growth like leaves and stems P (Phosphorus)- Helps with flowering/seed/fruit production and promotes root growth/health K (Potassium)- Increases disease resistance, drought tolerance, and fruit/flower quality 4) Get your plant the right amount of light. You can figure this out from years of trial and error, or you can just look up the scientific name of the plant to see how much light you plant needs -Full sun= 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day -Part sun/Part shade= 4 hours of direct sunlight per day or filtered sun all day long -Full shade= only shade or well-filtered sun, no direct sunlight. I hope this helps! Got tips for the community? Share them below!

Most people just don't care about sustainability enough to build their business around it, let alone their lives. Everyone has heard of climate change, deforestation, greenhouse gasses, mass extinction, etc., and yet the majority of people just forget about it and move on with their lives. I think a big part of the reason is that people assume you can't thrive in life and be sustainable. They think you have to abandon your desire for money and go back to living like a caveman. That couldn't be further from the truth. You CAN make money with sustainability. I think sustainability is the future! Maybe if more people thought of it this way the world would make faster progress towards sustainability. What do you think people can learn that will create true behavioral change (towards sustainability)?
