Lauren's actions
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Nature
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Lauren Berkel 10/22/2018 4:58 PMI may be in a rush in the morning so I forget to grab my mug for coffee before I leave the house - the night before I could have a clean reusable mug already in the sleeve of my backpack so it is ready to go in the morning. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergyHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Lauren Berkel 10/17/2018 11:47 AMOur university has just implemented many solar panels to generate electricity for a portion of our campus. Within the community is also a large inflatable dam on the local river.
