February is International Boost Self-Esteem Month. According to the Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology (2009), self-esteem is confidence in one’s worth, abilities, or morals. It includes beliefs about oneself and emotional states. In short, it is how you feel about yourself. Although self-esteem starts to develop in childhood, it evolves and changes throughout life based on your environment and life experiences.

The Rotary Club of Austin-Southwest has been involved in the matching grant program of Rotary International for years. However, due to the smaller size of our Club and the modifications in the matching grant program that require thousands of dollars to fund a program, it has not been possible to individually participate in the matching grants program for several years. We have missed these international projects with our Mexican partner clubs.

Real or Fake- Which Christmas tree is better for the Environment? According to most environmental experts, a real Christmas tree is generally considered better for the environment than an artificial one, as long as it is sourced from a sustainable tree farm, because real trees absorb carbon dioxide while growing and can be composted after use, while artificial trees are often made from non-biodegradable plastics and require significant resources to manufacture and transport.

We were invited by one of our incoming DG classmates to hear about an incredible new character-building program that was being featured at the San Antonio district conference at a ranch. We agreed to go since it was about education and children and I had been a teacher so it sparked my interest. We had no idea that night we would meet a real live knight in shining armor!

Check your refrigerator before you shop and only buy what you will eat. If food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane. Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas, after carbon dioxide. Though it breaks down more quickly, methane traps 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide, making it a major contributor to climate change. Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, is emitted from landfills, resulting from the decaying of organic waste over time under anaerobic conditions.

Reducing printing can help the environment by reducing the impact of paper, ink, and toner on the environment. The production of one ton of paper can require 12 to 24 trees, which creates greenhouse gas emissions and can lead to deforestation. Paper production also uses a lot of water, and some chemicals used in the process can contaminate water supplies and harm aquatic life.

But this can extend to dues, attendance, Club involvement, etc. Unfortunately, my Club lost a few of these new members after their admission to the Club.
