It can make me become more thankful of things and others. It will also help me become more confident, and thankful for the things I have and not get greedy or jealous.

Bethany Wilkins 10/14/2018 2:09 PMI think that this challenge is going well. I have learned how what yo do everyday can effect the environment and what you have to do to change those actions. I also feel like I am going something good and helping the world improve. The only thing is I'm a little confused on how to use the website. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Bethany Wilkins 10/14/2018 2:06 PMI have been turning off the lights when I don't need them. I could probably do it a little better. Since I sleep with 2 fans on. I should probably take it down to 1, then maybe eliminate them all together. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?
Bethany Wilkins 10/05/2018 10:07 AMI try my hardest not to use plastic bags when we go to the store, but every so often we wither forget the bags, or leave them in my moms car if we take my dads. If i bring plastic bags to lunch or just use them throughout the day, once I get home I will wash the bags so that I can reuse them. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Compost Food WasteNew to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?
Bethany Wilkins 10/05/2018 10:05 AMI avoid producing or leaving behind all of the food waste that I have/create. I do that by packing/making myself reasonable portions so that I do not have any food left behind, but I am satisfied with what I have eaten.
