Josephine's actions
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.
Simplicity
Needs Vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
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.
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.
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.
Community
Help Others
I will offer to help 3 person(s) who are in need each day.

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 QUESTIONCommunity Help OthersIn 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.
