I will use the resource links provided and spend 60 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

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 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

    Once I decided to forgo the straw this seemed to make me forgo the plastic cup as well and now I am remembering to bring my reusable cup more often.

      Julie, doesn't it seem odd/cool how 1 small step cascades into others? Small steps take us on long journeys, right? And we can be grateful for the scenery on the way.

    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I found a cup to take to my favorite coffee shop the last couple of days. I think it is silly that I felt like one of those "environmental" people when I first brought it in, but all of the baristas were awesome. Sometimes I have to get out of my own head and quit thinking about what others will think of something as silly as bringing my own cup to the coffee shop.

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    I love to go hiking with my friend on the weekend, we get out in the foothills and talk and let her dog run all over! Love it!

    Practicing gratitude keeps me focused on what I can do, and what is good around me which keeps me motivated- a great feed back loop!
