Aparna's actions
Action Track: Healing and Renewal
Happiness
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.
Simplicity
Work-Life Balance
Do at Home
I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.
Simplicity
Limit Social Media
Do at Home
I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 30 minute(s)
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
Do at Home
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Health
Forgiveness
Do at Home
I will begin, or continue, on the journey of forgiving myself and/or other(s). I may do this through journaling, meditation, prayer, and/or talking with a licensed healthcare professional.
Action Track: Justice for the Whole Community
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
Do at Home
Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 5 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

Aparna Nagabhushan 10/24/2020 4:46 AMBy leaving computer monitors on overnight, or not having them on energy saving modes, 9 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions are wasted every year!!!! -

Aparna Nagabhushan 10/24/2020 4:29 AMToday I saw that during take-aways they prefer restaurant package than carrying their own containers, I felt the restaurant owners should take the initiative and stop food packages and ask the customers to bring their own containers. There are few places where they follow these methods but it was necessary for them to save package cost as small-business but dont you think even the well-known restaurants should start the same?? -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Justice for the Whole CommunityWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What did you substitute or could be substituted instead?
Aparna Nagabhushan 10/24/2020 4:25 AMCarry your own water-bottles, using boxes instead of package during take-aways, cloth bags instead of buying extra-plastic bags. These little things are going to make a lot of difference!! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityHow might practicing work-life balance lead to a more sustainable life for yourself? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?
Aparna Nagabhushan 10/24/2020 4:22 AMWith work-life balance I was able to reduce screen-time, spend more time with family, go for a walk, spend some happy time with myself :) -
