Stephen's actions
Health
Happiness
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Food
Try a New Way to Prep
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Nature
Practice Gratitude for Earth
I will spend 15 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
Nature
Explore My Area
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
Food
Buy From a Farmers Market
I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?
Stephen Busse 10/03/2018 8:41 AMI only use disposable water bottles when travelling (by air) or at a client's for work. The last airline trip I took I brought by empty re-usable container through security, and filled it up from the drinking fountain. Much better than buying a plastic bottle of water.
