Water

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Can't believe the EcoChallenge is almost over. The time went incredibly quick. Hopefully DMS students will have made some new environmentally friendly habits.

I could make the 5 minute shower today. I got really dirty doing yard work and needed extra time to get clean. I was aware of the time and did shower quicker than I normally would have under the same circumstances.

Taking a five minute shower isn't really that hard. I'm not a fan of the first 30 seconds of cold water though. To be positive, that helps me wake up!

  Awesome Jonathan! I'm an advocate for taking 5-minute cold showers - you feel like Superman when you walk out of the cold shower into a nice warm room!

Looking forward to getting start tomorrow and hopefully inspiring my students to keep their positive changes going long after the challenge ends. Thank you North West Institute for such a great, fun, easy way to do right by our planet!
