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.

Meditate

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

DAILY ACTIONS

Create Your Own Action

I will not use plastic ziplock bags or I will reuse them

I oftentimes use ziplock bags to bring snacks on the go. I always throw them away after one use. This is adding extra plastic into landfills. I would like to stop adding to plastic pollution.

    I have started reminding my friends to try not using straws.

    I don't even notice that I'm not using straws anymore, but I do notice when other people are using them.

    I am trying to be thankful for the weather even though it is freezing outside.

    Today my class went to the landfill. Seeing all of the plastic there makes me want to cut even more plastic use out of my everyday life.

    I am enjoying taking time to be mindful and notice the little things in life that I am thankful for.
