Community
Help Others
I will offer to help 3 person(s) who are in need each day.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
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 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Health
Learn More about Food Deserts
I will spend 5 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
Simplicity
Needs Vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Josephine Lian 10/12/2018 12:29 PMIt makes me take the time to evaluate the importance of life and how there can be many ups and downs on the road. I can take the gratification and show the love and support I get from my happiness to the next person I meet. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Josephine Lian 10/11/2018 4:52 PMPlastic straws, bags, food wrap, and plastic cups. Choosing to skip using plastic straws when getting a drink, use reusable bags when grocery shopping, store the food in biodegradable food containers, and use stainless steel cups or glass cups. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Josephine Lian 10/11/2018 4:47 PMUse decomposable products, use reusable tupperware, water bottles, and try to reduce the amount of waste that is made on a daily basis. As well as growing my own foods. (vegetables, and fruits) -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityIn your opinion, how do social inequalities diminish a strong sense of community?
Josephine Lian 9/26/2018 2:51 PMSocial inequality makes others feel like they are put into a certain category which defeats the purpose of having a community. Everyone should feel like they belong and not always wanting to shut out others around them based on their views, race, gender, and appearance.
