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?
Shane McNulty 10/25/2018 8:46 AMI think ditching plastic water bottles and just using a full time reusable one will help me. -
Reflection QuestionFood Choose Organic IngredientsCan organic farming feed the world? Which side of the argument do you fall on? Why?
Gwen Bellmore 10/25/2018 8:42 AMI think that it could but there needs to be more time and land brought into it before it can feed more people -
Jesse Bablitch 10/24/2018 8:17 PMChallenge has been eye opening and I've learned a lot -
Reflection QuestionWaste Find Local Recycling DepotsOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?
Daniel Clarizio 10/24/2018 6:49 PMThat particular hazardous materials have specific centers where they should be disposed of. I also learned of how out of the way and difficult it is for many rural communities to properly recycle items they can't get rid of in their regular recycles. -
Aurora Bergeron 10/24/2018 9:02 AMAs my last time recording my activities for this activity, I hope to have made a difference. Even if the difference was so small that it wont matter until much much later, I hope someday that it just matters. -
Reflection QuestionEnergy Heat and Cool NaturallyWhat are other ways you could use the power of the sun to reduce your own environmental footprint?
Elsa Akenson 10/23/2018 10:21 AMNow that the weather is cooling down, I just open my window to cool my room down instead of using a fan. -
Jacob Mancl 10/23/2018 7:48 AMWhen I went to out for dinner on Sunday I recognized the restaurant gives everyone a straw. It was just second nature for me to use it. I then remembered that I should not be using one. I guess I messed up Sunday. -
Mallory Keating 10/22/2018 6:58 PMSo far my hardest challenges have been the 5 minute showers. But I have definitely learned now habits such as carrying around a reusable straw and unplugging my electronics when I leave my room.-
James McPhail 10/22/2018 7:57 PMI've cut back water use showering by turning off the water once all wet, soaping/lathering, then rinsing. Take all the time you want when the water is off!
