Gillian'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.
Waste
Launch a Recycling Program
I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.
Community
Express My Support
I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Gillian Schneider 10/03/2018 9:15 AMI'm not going to lie. I really wanted a cheeseburger for lunch today, but I am eating a peanut butter sandwich at my desk instead. I believe these small steps we take during this month will help us model for others and will help us remember for ourselves to make healthy choices after the EcoChallenge is over. -
Gillian Schneider 10/03/2018 9:15 AMI'm not going to lie. I really wanted a cheeseburger for lunch today, but I am eating a peanut butter sandwich at my desk instead. Feels good to make that conscious choice. I believe these small steps we take during this month will help us model for others and will help us remember for ourselves to make healthy choices after the EcoChallenge is over.
