I try to always carry by Hydro around with me for quick access to water and to prevent me from having to purchase plastic water bottles.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Less Screen TimeWhat did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?
Jen Linse 10/13/2020 8:42 AMThis was harder than I thought, it seems our phones are too easily accessible. I started by leaving my phone in another room making it less of a distraction. I spent my time hanging with the family which also decreased their screen time.
