Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
people should start taking more precaution on how much trash they are using and start recycling what ever they can get there hands on. We have to be mind full of what is best for out world. We have to keep the world clean doing this we will save the world and save are selves too. the world is in our hands.
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?
Water is a necessity but water bottles are not. People have the choice to fill up a reusable water bottle every day but some chose not to. Choices like this can lead to a better world. You can fill up a water bottle the day before if you know you going to have to rush in the morning and not going to have enough time to fill up one. I think this is the cause of plastic bottle people are so rushed and chaotic in the morning they grab there water coffee, tea etc an run out the door without realizing most of that these drink come in a plastic container. People should be more cautious about their actions and choose the right path to making the world a better place.
People should stop using so may straws. straws are not a necessity. If you want to use a straw buy a reusable stray. I love using straws but it hurts the environment so i started using reusable ones. Reusable one can be way more fun as well they an can in all different shapes and they can have twirls and etc. using plastic straws can damage the environment because people do not realize how much they are using. Some people think its funny to use 2 or more plastic straws to drink out of just one drink. people should be more aware of how much plastic they are using each day and throwing out.
What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?
You can add stamps on items that are in a package or box so you do not have to put them in a plastic bag. this way if people see the stamp people know you bought it and did not steal. Another solution is you can rap organic items in cloth so they do not get dirty and place them in your shopping cart.
