sam's actions
Nature
Explore My Area
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
Simplicity
Less Screen Time
I will replace 20 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
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 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Water
Collect Rain Water
I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Say No to Plastic StrawsWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
sam middleton 10/03/2018 9:34 AMI love my iced coffee and that's tons of plastic going in the trash when I'm done. Cutting back on the coffee should help my wallet too! I'm also very bad at bringing my reusable bags to the grocery store so I need to work on that. -
