Bradley's actions
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Water
Collect Rain Water
I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile 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?
Bradley Zachowski 10/31/2018 7:10 AMReducing the amount we use and finding healthy alternatives. Set yourself up by realizing you can save money while also saving the environment in order to persuade yourself to make a permanent change. Using 1 plastic water bottle is better than buying a whole new case of water. -
Bradley Zachowski 10/14/2018 3:36 PMEvery time I go to Taco Bell I never take a lid or straw to reduce the amount of plastic I use. So far, I have saved 5 straws from being sent to a landfill.
