    I found from doing the eco challenge that putting time aside for things like 30 minutes of exercise and determining my core values so I can better align myself with them helps me to reflect on what my goals are and what I can do to help myself achieve them. I also feel better about myself knowing I’m helping the earth by taking part in small actions everyday like not eating meat and better taking care of myself as well.

    This has really helped me take the time for myself. Working full-time and doing school full time I haven't done that. But this is now my 30 mins that I can do whatever I want: think, listen to a podcast, listen to music, catch up with a loved one in a different state or city that I can't see because of covid. It has been awesome

    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?

    I have recently started doing this because I am at home and don't go out to get coffee anymore so my coffee is always in a resuable one. But I realized how many travel mugs I have at home so now I need to start bringing those with me if I am ever going to get a starbucks 
  • 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?

    The ease of just grabbing a bottle that already has water in it. I bought a 32 oz reusable water bottle so that way I have to refill it less - thus creating more of a time ease for myself.
