  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water 5-Minute Showers
    Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

    The next step I can take is that I can try to even take 2-3 minute showers.

    I have seen sea animals being harmed by plastic straws and I am glad I can make a difference!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Disconnect from Email
    Notice how much time you were spending checking email away from work and make note of that. Now that you have stepped away from it and have not been checking, what changes are you noticing in your thoughts, use of time, stress and energy levels?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Say No to Plastic Straws
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    Instead of plastic straws you could use reusable glass straws. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Have a Garage Sale
    Building community is good for your soul and fun to do! What were some of the positive outcomes that came out of your group garage sale?

    Some positive out comes to a garage sale is that you can get rid of clutter you don't need and/or use. Garage sales usually have stuff pretty cheap so if someone didn't have a lot of money they could go to a garage sale to get some decor for their home.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Exercise Daily
    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    You could exercise with your friends or family or they could help you exercise.
