    I will try to spot places or items that I use that waste/use a lot of water. I'll try to be more observant to ensure that I don't waste any water.

    I want to consistently sleep at a certain time and get up at a certain time so my schedule is more set. I think what works best is trying to set a goal of what time you are gonna sleep and how many hours of sleep you want to get.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Community Sign Up to Vote
    Why is voting important to creating a just, sustainable, and thriving world? In what other ways can you actively participate in important decision-making?

    Tracy Do 10/19/2020 11:57 PM
    Voting creates a just, sustainable, and thriving world because it gives people an outlet to express their opinion. It gives people a sense of control to know that their vote can impact their own lives and others. Other ways, I can participate in important decision- making is taking surveys, talking to higher officials and educating myself on important subject like elections going on in my city or county.

    Tracy Do 10/17/2020 10:14 PM
    I can incorporate other personal values into my exercise routine by going for walks with my family or/and my friends which builds a stronger bond and also get to spend quality time with them. Getting fresh is very important and mental health so walking can help by helping clear my head.
