Madison's actions
Nature
Spend Time Outside
I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
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.
Food
Watch a Documentary about Food Sovereignty
I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.
Simplicity
De-Clutter My Home
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Madison Taylor 10/05/2018 2:23 PMI like to go to the gym with my mom! We both really enjoy the quality time with trying to better ourselves. We have been meeting in the mornings around 5:30am and spend an hour together. It definitely makes us closer! -
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?
Madison Taylor 10/03/2018 9:19 AMI regularly use straws, coffee cups, sandwich bags, and plastic grocery bag (I know... awful). Going forward I am really going to focus on using NO straw (or purchasing paper straws), utilizing the many reusable coffee cups I have, Tupperware instead of plastic sandwich bags, and PAPER instead of plastic. :) These are not difficult changes, it will just take the effort in remembering to do so and the impact these little things can make. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Madison Taylor 10/03/2018 9:16 AMI think I need to really focus on the "Need vs. Want" aspect of things to help not accumulate unneeded items and clutter. -

Madison Taylor 9/26/2018 2:28 PMAfter my trip to Hawaii earlier this month, I learned the importance of saying NO to the straw! I urge everyone to do the same, or use cardboard made straws/reusable straws. #SAVETHETURTLES
