  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe 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?

    Provide free mug to employees and provide tools for people to wash their mug. This will encourage people to avoid using single use coffee cup by improving their convenience.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    change the double side setting as default in the driver. So this will be appeared as default for everyone. like a opt-out concept rather than a opt-in concept.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health More Fruits and Veggies
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How can we start shifting from a meat-focused food culture to a more plant-based one?

    I think people in NA eating more meat is due to the diet culture. I think the way to shift from meat-focused culture to a more plant-based one are through awareness and education to let people understand the benefit of eating more plant-based food.
