I regularly use straws, plastic bags, soft drink cups, and to go containers. I can use reusable things like metal straws, a cloth shopping bag, and other usable things.

Simplicity

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

Nicki Widowski 10/17/2018 4:39 PMWhen meditating today, my mind kept drifting toward my pets. They're important to me and I miss them, especially the one that left this world two weeks ago. -
Nicki Widowski 10/09/2018 3:37 PMOne week into this and it has been experience. With the recent rain, walking for 10 minutes has not been the most fun thing to do. But the non-perfect weather has helped me think about the less superficial things of life that everybody is grateful for, and meditate on the personal things that I am most thankful for. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityFresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?
Nicki Widowski 10/04/2018 3:41 PMWell with the cold air, my walk definitely wakes me up and makes me more alert. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterFive minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?
Nicki Widowski 10/03/2018 2:44 PMNot only can I take shorter showers. I can turn off the water when I'm putting the shampoo in my hair, then turn it back on when I need it.
