  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    It's inconvenient sometimes to use the reusable water bottle, make a habit of using the reusable bottle by using it more

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    it's sometimes difficult to consistently using a reusable cup, and it's much easier to use a disposable bottle. it feels good to know I'm making a difference
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Justice for the Whole Community Research Voter Suppression
    What are the ways in which voters are prohibited from or discouraged from voting in your region and/or state? What could be done to get rid of these barriers?

    Izzo Akana's avatar
    Izzo Akana 10/08/2020 10:22 AM
    There are voter id laws, registration restrictions, voter purges, etc. we can get rid of these barriers by passing a rights restoration act, and beyond that, sufficient funding to voting.
