    I like how I see more and more people without straws, and I wonder if La Crosse is going to decide to use paper straws instead.

    I like how the campus is starting to put more sustainability options into practice, such as biodegradable containers.

    I wish that it were sunnier out. The past couple weeks have been very cloudy, and I have been trying to find an opportunity to see a good sunset/sunrise.

    It was interesting to notice how more and more people in the smoothie lines on campus are skipping using a straw. I think that this is slowly going to make a positive impact on our environment, as well as influence others to do the same.

    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    By using other reusable items, such as bags, water bottles, or containers, to avoid sending more trash to landfills. I think that straws are good place to start, but that we can do more as well.

    I avoided using a plastic water bottle today by using my own reusable water bottle! I notice a lot of people on campus try to avoid using plastic water bottles, which I think is great.
