Waste
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Waste
Go Paperless
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Waste
Visit a Waste Management Facility
I will spend at least 75 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

Madison Hollon 10/11/2018 6:40 PMToday's challenge is easier because I am making it a habit to ask to not have a plastic bag at a store and remembering to use my reusable bas when I go out!!-
Madison Hollon 10/14/2018 5:54 PMA good idea is to go ahead and store bags in your car/apartment and set a reminder around the time you go out! -
Monica Martin 10/11/2018 6:54 PMThis challenge has definitely made me remember my bags!

-
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Find Local Recycling DepotsOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
-
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?
Madison Hollon 10/07/2018 11:28 PMThe barriers are simply remembering to bring mine every morning and also not wanting to purchase another commodity -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Go PaperlessReducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?
Madison Hollon 10/07/2018 11:27 PMbeing an activist is hard w alot of flyers/ petitions to sign. But an email petition/online registration saves time/the environment! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Skip the StrawHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Madison Hollon 10/07/2018 11:26 PMstart by first reducing use- its out of habit to use a straw so breaking that habit is reducing plastic intake! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Visit a Waste Management FacilityField trip! What a fun way to learn about our impact and consumption! What facility did you visit? What did you learn? Did you take anyone with you?
