Do at Home
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Support Comerica's National Day of Service
As an extension to Comerica's National Day of Service in September, consider conducting a virtual volunteer action that supports our communities. Since there are no organized in-person river, beach or lake clean-ups in most communities this year, if you would like, you can consider cleaning up around your house and neighborhood to support your local environment as neighborhood storm drains commonly drain to local water bodies. Please do not invite others outside of your household if you choose this action.
Waste

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?
Rebecca Helhowski 9/24/2020 8:17 AMCarrying a reusable water bottle at all times is a huge fix, it prevents my personal momentary need to buy a water bottle. you don't need to buy a plastic one if you have a reusable one on you at all times! This is already a permanent habit! :)
