Brianna Heath 10/05/2018 7:31 PMI realized once the day was done that I had forgotten to shut down my laptop after one of my meetings. I also forgot that I was supposed to be collecting my trash, but tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully my current mistakes will help me remember and be a better steward in the future. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about 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?
Brianna Heath 10/04/2018 7:23 PMI can see that other people are taking notice and will comment on the little things that I do differently to make a better impact on the planet. It makes me feel like little actions really can make a big difference. Even if that difference is changing the way that somebody thinks! -
