Olivia's actions
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 03 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Water
5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Waste
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Olivia Morrison 10/03/2018 6:42 PMMy family has solar panels on the roof of our house. This is a great way to get clean, renewable energy by just using natural resources. It also doesn't hurt the environment! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Reduce Single-Use DisposablesBringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Olivia Morrison 10/03/2018 6:38 PMSometimes at restaurants I do get the disposable boxes for leftovers. For a substitution, you could bring your own reusable containers. -
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?
Olivia Morrison 10/02/2018 8:14 PMI think that people are hesitant to use reusable water bottles because they are more valuable and you have to carry it around everywhere whereas you can just but a plastic water bottle at just about every convenience store. I think people should just see past these small inconveniences. I carry my water bottle in my backpack everyday and I will continue to do that.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater 5-Minute ShowersFive minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?
Olivia Morrison 10/02/2018 7:49 PMThe next step that I could take would be to take showers with colder water. I could also inform others about the importance of no wasting water and encourage them to take shorter showers as well.
